Who: SEALNet - the Southeast Asian Service Leadership Network & an international team
When: August 22 to September 5, 2010
Where: Cebu, Philippines @ UP Cebu and Cebu City National Science High School
What: Project Philippines 2011 - Health, Sanitation, Solid Waste Implementation
One of the biggest problem currently facing Cebu, Philippines is the lack of waste management system. Cebu has neither an efficient trash collecting system nor a trash separation system. The lack of sanitation has detrimental effects on health, causes the high prevalence rate of gastrointesitnal worms, dengue fever, and diharrheal diseases in many barangays. Therefore, Project Philippines 2010 strives to improve solid waste sanitation through a community beautification campaign, specifically developing a sanitation education program and implementing a trash collecting system. By bringing college and local high school students together to tackle sanitation, we hope to improve the standard of living and cultivate the future service leaders of the Philippines.
