In the remote hills of Iba, Zambales, 156 members of the Lupang Pangako Resettlement School face a daily struggle that most of us can’t imagine—the desperate search for water. For these indigenous Aeta students, education competes with the basic need for survival.
When Learning Takes a Backseat to Thirst
At Lupang Pangako Resettlement School, students spend precious learning time fetching water from distant sources. They arrive at school dehydrated and exhausted from pre-dawn water collection trips. Teachers struggle to maintain sanitary conditions without adequate water. The entire educational experience suffers.
This water crisis isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a barrier to education that keeps an entire community trapped in poverty.
Your Impact: Beyond Just Water
Your contribution of $2,830.18 will fund:
- Specialized Drilling Equipment: Professional drilling technology to access sustainable groundwater sources
- Expert Geological Surveys: Scientific assessment to identify optimal drilling locations, ensuring long-term water security
- Operational Development: Complete implementation of a water system that will serve the entire school community
A Proven Solution That Changes Lives
We’ve seen firsthand how water drilling transforms communities. Pure Bayanihan has already demonstrated success by partnering with Green Earth to support farming communities in the foothills of Sierra Madre. Together, they drilled and built a water pump that irrigated and developed the earth for planting.
That project wasn’t just about providing water—it was about healing the land and inspiring hope in a thriving community. The same transformation awaits Lupang Pangako.
A Foundation for Future Growth
When you fund this water drilling project, you’re not just providing water—you’re creating:
- Educational Opportunity: Students who spend less time collecting water can focus more on learning
- Improved Health: Clean, accessible water reduces waterborne illness and improves sanitation
- Community Development: Water security forms the foundation for other development initiatives
- Cultural Preservation: Supporting indigenous Aeta communities helps preserve their unique cultural heritage
Will you help bring water—and with it, hope—to the students of Lupang Pangako Resettlement School today?
