Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project supporting those affected by severe dry season with water, sanitation and hygiene initiatives. This project period, we focused our support in the villages where Subanen Indigenous People are living in the mountains of Zamboanga del Norte. The situation of open defecation in the area is very high and the people are very poor and seldom would be able to afford a latrine. The incidence of fecal-borne diseases are very high and this is very problematic especially for children. Mortality of children in this area is very high with diarrhea occurring most often. This reporting period, and with the help of the local government, we are able to construct a total of 45 latrines and conduct information drive among the inhabitants. Coupled with the construction of the latrines, we also did community-led total sanitation training with those whom we provided witht the latrines.
Hoping for your continuing support to our initiative.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
