In the last couple of weeks they have completed a further 3 installations.

The unit being formally presented below, is for the Municipality of Pagayawan, Lanao del Sur in the Bangsamoro and sponsored by the Rotary Club of Rosebud Rye.

It will be located at the Mosque of the Municipality for Barangay Ngingir.

It will provide a source of safe drinking water to the 1,827 residents of the Barangay.

Another SkyHydrant will provide safe drinking water to the 1,200 residents of Brgy. Banga in the Islamic City of Marawi, especially the 150 school children of Banga Primary School.

The third SkyHydrant is at Barangay Botud in the Municipality of Maguing in Lanao del Sur in the Bangsamoro.

It is home to about a thousand Meranaws. They used to get their drinking water straight from the river, causing diseases especially among the children.

Last Week, Balay Mindanaw installed, and signed over two SkyHydrants at two remote villages in Upi, Maguindanao in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao – Barangay Kinitaan and Barangay Rempes.

Both units have been sponsored by the Rotary Club of Dromana.

Located in the mountainous areas, there are rivers, springs and waterfalls that offer more than sufficient water.

The animals and people within the catchment however has meant that the water has been contaminated and the villagers health has been poor.

Balay Mindanaw first visited the villages 20 years ago to mediate a community peace consultations that produced a lasting ceasefire agreement .

Now the two villages are fulfilling their dream of providing safe drinking water, especially to their children.

Earlier this week, our partner Balay Mindananw’s ‘DREAM Team’ installed a SkyHydrant in Barangay Tapodoc.

As with all installations the turn over ceremony included the signature of a formal agreement to ensure the Barangay understands their ongoing maintenance obligations.

This is a gift from the Rotary Clubs of Phillip Island & San Remo, Wonthaggi and Inverloch.

The installation of the SH was delayed several times including in December 2022 when entire populace left the Barangay due to violent conflict.

This Barangay is part of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao where the Balay Mindanaw Community-Based Peacebuilding Team has been working for many years.

We hope that the improvement to health that the SkyHydrant brings will serve as a bridge and inspiration for the stakeholders to continue building peace among them.
