The GK PInasuan Village in Barangay San Miguel, Hernani Eastern Samar was turned over to 59 families on September 25, 2005. It is located in a sloping area that is 100 meters away from the main highway and 500 meters away from the shoreline. Their main source of livelihood are mostly farming and fishing.
In 2015, the residents of the community began to notice a certain part of their village getting damaged by soil erosion. What’s more alarming is the fact that a row of houses also stand in this area, which means that their foundation is at risk and may no longer be sound because of the erosion. To date, 8 houses are affected by this and families fear not only for the destruction of their home structure, but also their family members’ safety.
The local members of the community have suggested the “Riprap” solution in order to address this problem of soil erosion. Riprap is a method where larger-sized rocks are piled together against a slope in order to protect the soil surface against erosion. They believe that this will address their current concern and lower the risk of collapsing for the home structures standing in the affected area.
The total amount needed to implement the Riprap solution to GK Pinasuan Village is PHP 64,859.00. This includes the procurement of all materials needed and labor required.
Help residents in Sitio Pinasuan, Eastern Samar reconstruct their houses affected by soil erosion through the "Riprap" project.

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 affected houses of eight families in the GK Pinasuan Village are now safe from destruction due to soil erosion. Their houses are now secure because of the “Riprap” solution. The construction started on November 20, 2021, and finished on November 28, 2021.
Residents in impacted areas were temporarily evacuated due to fears that their homes will fall at any moment. Eventually, the affected families returned to their safe new homes a few days after their homes were repaired. They were relieved that their house was now secure and that they were free from the constant fear that it would collapse.
The residents of the GK Pinasuan Village would like to express their gratitude to Global Giving and other stakeholders for making their homes once again a secure place to live.
May your kindness multiply, and together we can develop more resilient communities.
