Clean Water and Livelihood Project for Mambaling Badjao Community

The single sharpest fact in one or two punchy sentences. Who did what, where, when, and why it matters. After decades of struggling with access to clean and reliable water, the Badjao community in Alaska, Mambaling, Cebu City, will soon have a solution to this long-standing concern. A water purification system and a livelihood project are being implemented by a non-government organization and its partners to provide the community with safe drinking water and income opportunities.

The Badjao community, also known as the Veddoid people, is one of the indigenous communities in the Philippines. They are known for their unique culture and traditions, which are distinct from the mainstream Filipino society. The community has struggled with poverty and lack of access to basic amenities such as clean water and electricity.

The water purification system being implemented is expected to provide clean and reliable water to over 500 families in the community, who have been relying on shallow wells and rainwater harvesting systems. The system will also include a water storage tank and a maintenance facility to ensure the water remains safe for consumption.

A livelihood project is also being implemented to provide income opportunities for the community members. The project includes training in sustainable fishing and aquaculture, as well as the establishment of a community-based fishery.

The Badjao community has been working closely with the government to address their concerns. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has provided financial support for the project, and the Cebu City government has allocated land for the community-managed water supply project.

The implementation of the water purification system and livelihood project is expected to improve the health and well-being of the community members. The access to clean water will reduce the risk of water-borne diseases, while the livelihood project will provide a sustainable source of income for the community members.
