In 2015, Sarah Jones reported that lack of clean water and sanitation in the Philippines kills 55 people every day. This report was not just alarming, but also very threatening. The disposal and treatment of human waste is a serious issue in our country. Katrina Arianne Ebora of UNICEF’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene program in the country said that over 30 million people in the Philippines do not have access to improved sanitation facilities (Jones, 2015).
While the government is aiming to achieve universal access to safe and adequate toilets by 2028 (Philippine Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap, DOH, 2010) and as they address the serious sanitation concerns being faced by our country, ARDCI is already doing its best in becoming a stable part of the solution. For more than years now, the company is already assisting its 100,000 plus members and their communities by providing sanitation facilities such as toilets and potable water system.
ARDCI has distributed a number of Sanitary Toilet and Water Pump facilities in the Five (5) Pioneer Branches in Catanduanes.
