Almost 9 years since the Marawi Siege, around 8,200 people are still living in temporary shelters, waiting for something as basic as clean water ๐ง
Today, we're proud to introduce ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฃ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ "Building a Legacy of Clean Water, and Lasting Peace, One Drop at a Time."
Led by the Salimbago Youth Volunteers Alliance (SYVA), Project KALANTAS is the premier environmental initiative of the organization. This year it has evolved into a youth-driven initiative that goes beyond just fixing pipes and building toilets. It's about putting M'ranao women and girls at the center of change, training them as community health advocates, giving them the tools to lead WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) initiatives in their own shelters, and creating spaces where environmental advocacy becomes a bridge to lasting peace.
Because in communities still healing from conflict and displacement, access to clean water isn't just a health issue, it's a dignity issue, a safety issue, and for many women and girls, it determines whether they can go to school, earn a living, or simply feel safe.
Our focus areas are
๐ง Improved Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH)
๐ฉโ๐ Women and Girls' Empowerment
๐ฑ Environmental Advocacy and Policy Change
This is a project for the community, by the community - and we're just getting started.
Proudly funded by the European Union, in partnership with the Global Youth Mobilization, World Scouting, World YMCA, WAGGGS, World YWCA, The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, and IFRC.
