AyUBIA NATIoNAL PARk
Focusing on watershed management in and around Ayubia National Park,
this project supports sub-watershed management, community development
and awareness raising, as well as capacity building with communities
that are dependent on the watershed’s natural resources. The project
will introduce alternate sources of energy, rainwater harvesting, crop
diversification, better agriculture management practices, community-led
ecotourism, a cleanup of Lake Saiful Maluk by teachers and schoolchildren,
and water filtration. It is estimated that 20,000 people will benefit.

SANITATIoN PRojECT
Lack of water access means that many school children suffer from intestinal
worms, diarrhea, tooth decay, and other preventable hygiene-related
infections. These conditions affect the physical and mental development
of the children, compromising school attendance, school performance,
and ultimately, quality of life. The aim of the Safe Water and Sanitation
Project is to improve the sanitation and hygiene practices at Kibangay
Elementary School with the construction of additional water, sanitation, and
hygiene facilities, as well as sanitation and hygiene education. A rainwater
harvesting system was constructed for the school, benefiting 302 students,
school employees, and the surrounding community. Education surrounding
hygiene practices is ongoing.

ACCESS PRojECT
This project provided safe water and sanitation infrastructure in Sarangani
and Sultan Kudarat, coupled with educational campaigns about sanitation
and hygiene. Reservoirs were built to collect water, chlorinators were
installed to ensure water safety, and pipelines were run from the reservoirs
to local distribution points, enabling water access for over 10,000 people.
Citizens were simultaneously educated in sanitation and hygiene, as well as
infrastructure maintenance. A participatory development process was made
to involve all stakeholders in all stages of the project. The project engaged
local government units, schools, parents, and teachers. In the process, village
water and sanitation associations were organized and parent-teacher
associations were strengthened to manage the water systems. Teams of local
residents have since assumed responsibility for the project and are operating
and maintaining the water infrastructure.

PLANT A TREE WITh yoUR fAmILy
More than 120 Coca-Cola employees and their families planted 10,000
oak trees in Chojnów Landscape Park. The event also included a program
to raise awareness among children about the importance of environmental
protection. The trees will deliver lasting benefits to the area, including
stabilizing air humidity, protecting the soil from erosion, and diminishing
wind force. The trees are also expected to absorb 8,000 kilograms of carbon
dioxide emissions each year.

ThE GREEN PASSPoRT PRoGRAm
The Green Passport Program mobilized 200 volunteers from a local high
school to plant 15,000 trees over 6 hectares of degraded fields in the towns
of Budacu De Jos and Budesti. Local communities will now enjoy the benefits
of reforestation, including carbon dioxide absorption, decreased runoff,
improved water quality, reduced pollution, a recharged watershed, and
reduced erosion. The project has also raised awareness among students and
adults about the importance of protecting the environment.
