Cavite is a province located south of Manila Bay on Luzon Island. It is one of the most industrialized and fastest growing provinces in the Philippines and has a population of 3.6 million inhabitants. The entry of foreign direct investments, the emergence of export-processing zones and industrial parks in the fringes of the mega urban region has led to the rapid urbanization and economic growth of the provinces around Metro Manila, such as Cavite.
In 2009, Eau et Vie’s entire pilot project of water access in North Manila burned in 3 hours. Suddenly, 10 000 people already living in precarious conditions were homeless. From a development project, W&L had to coordinate an emergency situation. Then W&L were able to start again in the fire relocation area in Salcedo II Cavite.
Nowaday, Eau et Vie is active in Salcedo II, Manggahan, Talaba II and extension, Pugad Ibon, Upper Sucat and its extension, Molave, BARS.
