Our Work in the
Philippines
Planet Water Foundation has been active in the Philippines since 2010, and deployed over 410 clean water projects during this time, providing access to clean, safe water to over 830,000 people.
Our work includes the deployment of over 350 AquaTower water filtration systems which have been deployed in elementary schools across the country in conjunction with our water health and hygiene education program. Together, our solutions are helping to bring clean, safe water access to students, teachers and members of the communities surrounding our project sites.
Currently, our focus is on clean water projects in Baguio, Camarines Sur, Cebu, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Northern Samar, Quezon, and Samar.
In addition, Planet Water Foundation has been active in disaster response work in the Philippines, deploying our AquaBlock Emergency Water Systems after natural disasters to provide clean water to people impacted by these events. Our work to date includes responses to Typhoon Odette, Typhoon Goni, and the Taal Volcanic eruption.
