   Philippines - Bacolod City

Electrification In Malingin

$11,753

Electrification in Malingin, Negros. Malingin in Negros Occidental does not have a proper and safe electrification. The existing bamboo electrical post with jury-rigged wires was knocked down by a typhoon, taking a life of a child and a water bufalo. The people in the small farming village in Malingin, Bacolod City are the beneficiaries of the project.

Bacolod City- Rotary Club of Bacolod East will manage the money and see that it is used properly. The Central Negros Electic Cooperation will maintain this project.

The Rotary Club of Bacolod of Bacolod East will open an account in the local bank to serve as the depository of the fund which will be sent for the project. The Club will account for every single centavo of the amount received for the project by producing the proper receipts to be ready for the report after the implementation of the project.

To maintain an open communication with the International partner a special page will be provided in the website. All phases of the implementation of the project on a monthly basis. The club will request a monthly letter and picture of the project and the International Partner will be invited to visit the project.

Final Report submitted to RI. However, not a single cent from the Matching Grant was spent as the electrification project was paid for by another organization. A change of scope was thus submitted to RI which was approved in Feb. 2011. Matching Grant will be used to provide a mini rice mill, solar dryer, and piglets for hog raising. Beneficiaries will still be the families living in the village of Malingin. Project is on-going.
