The Philippines is known for its water resource – seas
that are abundant with fish and other marine ecosystems, rivers and lakes that
host freshwater flora and fauna, and springs that are considered to be one of
the cleanest. However, there are communities that still do not have access to
water.
For generations, upland communities have lived lives that
required them to wake up early to draw water from distant sources; a life where
children would spend more time drawing water for household use than playing
outdoors; a life where mothers juggle between providing water for their
families and finding the time to care and nurture.
