The Philippines is rich in natural resources, and because our country is bounded by water, we are fortunate to be rich in water resources. Despite our natural water resources, people who live in remote areas have difficulties accessing water services due to a lack of funds from the local government.
Assist the residents of barangay Congan in Glan, Sarangani, in installing a connecting water pipe that will bring water to their remote community.
Barangay Congan is a mountainous sitio in Glan, Sarangani. It is a rural farming village with no electricity or phone service. The only means of transportation in this community is by motorcycle or horse. The locals get their water from a natural spring situated on a steep, muddy hillside.
The locals and even the children find it challenging every time they fetch water, especially during rainy seasons. The water source is a kilometer away with a 45-degree slope. Due to a lack of funding and supplies, the existing water infrastructure (gravity pump) installed by the barangay and private individuals is currently inoperable. They need a pipeline connecting to the village, but the barangay lacks funds to procure materials and implement the installation.
The pipeline connection to the village is a great help for the residents living in this community. They will no longer have difficulty getting water from a distant spring. This development will also benefit the nearby elementary school and the farmers.
Help the inhabitants of this far-flung community have easier access to water. The proceeds of this campaign will be used for the pipeline installation going to the barangay. Support us as we build more sustainable communities.
Support the installation of a pipeline that will bring water to the villagers of barangay Congan in Glan, Sarangani.

COMPLETION REPORT:
Thank you, B1G1, and to all the stakeholders. Your kindness and compassion have brought about a life-changing water system, for which we are immensely thankful. Your generosity brought an enormous smile to the educators, pupils, guardians, and barangay officials of Barangay Kapatan in Glan, Sarangani.
By visiting this link, BWI Give you can continue supporting the "Barangay Walang Iwanan" initiatives and help us build more resilient communities. You can also share this on your Facebook page by clicking the share button below.
When an act of kindness multiplies, it helps more people. Everyone can help, no matter how small or big. As long as it comes from the heart, we can persuade more people to help. Financial scarcity is not an obstacle to helping those who are in need.
The installation of a water pipeline was first proposed in Barangay Congan in Glan, Sarangani. Still, due to the effects of the recent barangay and SK elections, the current officiating barangay official is not on good terms with the landowner. Due to this, the operations teams need to change the location to install the water system. The team has seen the needs of Kapatan Integrated School, which is a lack of water accessibility, so they decided to transfer the water system project to Barangay Kapatan, where the school is located. This barangay is also in the municipality of Glan. The water system was installed within the premises of Kapatan Integrated School.
Kapatan Integrated School is one of the beneficiaries of the GK and CPG initiative partnership in barangay Kapatan in Glan, Sarangani Province. 70% of the students are IPs from the Blaan tribe, and most of their parents are fishermen. The school is unique because of the culture embodied by students, who embody values and ideals such as generosity, courage, bravery, and traditions.
The students fetch water from the water pump inside the school. They use it to maintain the cleanliness of the comfort room and the handwashing facilities. They also collect water from the water pump for cooking and cleaning the equipment used for the feeding program. Fetching water from the distant water pump station poses a significant challenge for the students and kitchen volunteers at the school.
The operations teams have observed the difficulties that students and staff were experiencing because of the distance of the water pump to the school facilities. To address this issue, they decided to reroute the installation of a water pipeline to the school. Installation of a water pipeline will be easier because the school already has a water system. The new and enhanced water system will significantly improve the current state and make it simpler for children and school personnel to obtain water.
Installing the new and established water system with pipeline started on December 5, 2023, and ended on December 27, 2023. During the installation process, the community faced some difficulties because of the earthquake experienced in the region. As the situation calmed down, they continued the installation. ARAL, SIPAG, and Yamang Kalusuguan volunteers' support enabled the installation to be completed earlier.
We are extremely grateful for your efforts in making this project a reality. Seeing what we can achieve when we work together is truly inspiring. The recipients of this project express their sincere appreciation to every person involved. Let's continue to nurture our spirit of generosity and work towards building even stronger and more resilient communities.
