Your generous contribution will help change the lives of hundreds of families in Davao in the Philippines through the installation of water filters and eco-sand toilets.

A group of Dubai-based women, is leading this project under the banner of Soroptimist International, a global network that works to improve the lives of women and girls.

Every person and every dollar makes a difference.

100% of funds raised will support Soroptimist work in Davao, in the Mindanao province of the Philippines. In the Philippines, more than nine million people lack access to safe water, and 19 million people lack access to adequate sanitation.

Your donations will provide families in need with safe water access via bio-sand filters, hygiene training and sanitation via eco-san toilets. This creates local jobs and provides an improved, healthier lifestyle for hundreds of families. The families which previously purchased bottled water can now direct their savings to other essential household needs such as food, books and farming supplies.
