1 in 10 people do not have access to improved water source

The Philippines is among the countries in Asia with large number of urban slum dwellers.
With extremely rapid population growth since the 1990s, the country now has more than 110 million inhabitants.
In the Philippines, the WHO stated that one in 10 people still do not have access to improved water sources. Based on a report by the health agency, acute watery diarrhea was one of the top 10 leading causes of death in the Philippines in 2016.
Moreover, the urban population is expected to grow by as much as 67% by 2030, adding 34.8 million inhabitants to the country’s urban areas.

This rapid rate of urban growth is being driven by limited employment opportunities in rural areas, land shortages, natural disasters, and the negative impacts of climate change.
Since 2009, Eau et Vie has brought sustainable access to piped water to the home and other essential services to more than 35,000 inhabitants of the slums of Cavite, Mandaue, Cebu, and Leyte.
