From 2014-2015, PFPI also implemented the Pro-WASH project in the Municipality of Alangalang in Leyte Province-one of the areas affected by Typhoon Haiyan. The Project was in Partnership with Samaritan Austria. ProWASH facilities i.e. water tanks and child-friendly lavatories were built. Slow sand filters were installed to provide access to potable water. Pro-WASH training for teachers and student leaders were conducted and pro- WASH clubs composed of students, PTA members, and barangay officials were established. They prepared school specific action plan and were tasked to carry out specific roles and responsibilities in the preparation, implementation, monitoring, and sustainability of the Pro-WASH project. This was carried out to ensure maintenance of the facilities and to educate and monitor the children’s sanitation and hygiene practices. To date approximately4,000 children and school personnel are benefitting from the project.
