In a region, where the Alstom Foundation already funded a project, we aim to provide an affordable and sustainable system of sludge management (collection/treatment/conversion to fertilizer) to communities of Eastern Samar.

For this project, which will benefit over 280 persons directly (over 1,220 indirect beneficiaries), ACTED NGO and Alstom Foundation aim to:

• Increase awareness on sanitation issues at household level;
• Develop a social business model for sludge management using low-cost technologies;
• Set up social businesses;
• Treat sludge used by farmers as fertilizer to increase production.
