SANITATION EDUCATION

Philippine Regulations on Sanitation and Wastewater Systems (DOWNLOADABLE HERE IN PDF FILE)

PCWS is widely disseminating the international edition of this compilation by Engr. Bonifacio B. Magtibay. 

PCWS is also working with communities to make them stewards of the environment, making sanitation a life skill.  Information materials, focus group discussions, participatory learning activities and capacity building trainings on water and sanitation are resorted to.
   
     

WASH INFRASTRUCTURES

PCWS has made hundreds of ferro-cement rainwater harvesting tanks, reservoirs, iron removal filters, sedimentation tanks, urine diverting toilets, low-cost wastewater treatment facilities, and biogas digesters. These ferro-cement structures that PCWS continue to build are low-cost.  PCWS makes it a point to work with local masons and even inexperienced community volunteers on these structures so that the knowledge and skills on the construction of these low-cost water supply and sanitation facilities are transferred to them.

Encouraging demand driven, sustainable and traditional sanitation solutions;
Securing increased financing to jump start and sustain progress via commitments;
Developing and strengthening institutional and human capacity;
Enhancing the sustainability and therefore the effectiveness of available sanitation solutions and;
Promoting and capturing learning to enhance the evidence base and knowledge on sanitation.
