The International Labour Organization and the Government of Japan have partnered to build a water system in Lanao del Sur that is enough to connect six barangays with a population of over 10,000 peop

le.

The water system connects six barangays and villages with a population of over 10,000 people. These barangays have limited water access for two decades. “Water has become more valuable during COVID-19 especially for areas facing multiple burdens such as extreme poverty, conflict, and climate change,” said Khalid Hassan, Director of the ILO Country Office for the Philippines.

A Single Drop for Safe Water, as the project’s implementing partner, further supported the community contractor, Katutungan Irrigators’ Association in building the water system. Workers received wages and social protection benefits. Occupational safety and health protocols were implemented. “We are quite pleased that opportunities for decent work and improved living conditions were provided to the locals, and proper health protocols were observed during construction,” said Ambassador Koshikawa Kazuhiko of the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines.
