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.

CONTINUING EFFORTS
PCWS will continue to work along the UN's eight
broad based objectives for IYS:
 |
Increasing awareness and commitment for
sanitation from all stakeholders at all levels; |
 |
Mobilizing Governments (from national to local),
existing alliances, financial institutions,
sanitation and other service providers; |
 |
Securing real commitments to review, develop and
implement effective action to scale up
sanitation programs; |
 |
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. |
