ORMOC CITY,
Leyte, Feb. 29 (PNA) -- Residents of a mountain community here need not worry
about their water supply anymore with the turnover of a newly-constructed
reservoir to them last Friday.
Non-government
organization (NGO) Green Empowerment built the facility as part of its program
called Building Climate Resilience in Water Stressed Communities.
The 30-cu.m.
capacity water tank is located in the sub-village of Hampig, village of Danao,
located 17 kilometers northeast from Ormoc City.
The NGO also
distributed toilet facilities to 38 households and installed hand-washing
faucets at the elementary school, daycare center and pre-elementary school.
Moreover, 76
hygiene kits were given to daycare and kindergarten pupils during the program.
Each kit contains a bath soap, face towel, toothbrush, toothpaste and comb.
Green Empowerment spent PHP1.2 million for the project through funding from the
US Agency for International Development. (PNA)
