Ameligan Island - Clean Water

$22,920

This Project is called "Genesis" It will address many concerns of the citizens of Brgy. Ameligan. Since the beginning of time this island has been without a source of Clean Drinking Water. In turn there has been many cases of Water Borne Diseases this would help to eliminate that problem. It will also allow the children of Ameligan to attend school more often as many of the children spend hours a day caring water to their homes just to wash clothes. The Island has 1414 residents with 242 nipa huts and just 20 concrete homes. Currently the main source of water for the residents is Rain Water.
