Children benefit the most
Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project providing food via vegetable gardening and safe sanitation by building low-cost, durable and aspirational toilets for the poorest of the poor. This project is indeed very important for farming families because they are able to have nutritious food from their gardens and with their toilets, water-borne diseases is prevented. This reporting period we are able to build 12 latrines with the help also of local supporters. We observe that children and women benefits the most from this initiative as access to latrines is no longer difficult for them.
Again thank you very much for your kind help.
Very sincerely yours,
Cesario

Planting cacao
Dear Friend,
Greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project providing sanitation and food security to poor, marginal farmers in remote villages here. Last reporting period, we were able to provide 30 low-cost durable latrines to beneficiaries belonging to the Subanen tribe. Thanks also to local supporters here who provided us with the needed materials and logistics in our work. We included this time in our initiative the promotion of high-valued crops such as cacao to increase the income base of farmers. The value of cacao in the local market is on the rise with demand very high for chocolates and other related products. We were able to partner with 5 farmers to act as initial model for this activity. Aside from supporting them with seedlings, we will also provide technical assistance especially in field management of the newly planted seedlings.
Again, thank you very much for your support.
Very sincerely yours,
Cesario Sayre

Starting to build latrines

Proud latrine owner
Dear Friends,
Warm greetings to you all and let me thank you for your generosity in order to make this project a resounding success and for the ABCDE Foundation to be part of the GlobalGiving community.
This reporting period, I am very proud to report that we are starting to build sanitary, scientific, durable and low-cost latrines in the municipality of Sergio Osmena in Zamboanga del Norte. There are barrios here where open defecation is very high at 70% of the households having no toilets. This is really problematic and a lot of residents here are often sick with water-borne diseases. Poverty is a major problem why local residents could not afford to build latrines.
Our design is simple and we are using local materials that are readily available here.
We are able to build 22 latrines and the construction of other latrines is on-going.
Again, thank you very much.
Very sincerely yours,
Cesar
