| Activity Objectives: | This project will seek to provide affordable piped potable water to poor households within the East Zone which covers the eastern portion of the National Capital Region (“NCR”) and most of the Province of Rizal through the Tubig Para Sa Barangay (“TPSB”) or Water for the Community program administered by the Manila Water Company (MWC). Local Government agencies and the Manila Water Company estimate that almost all households within the project’s target communities would not be able to afford the connection fees, but could afford to pay for the required meter and guarantee deposits. GPOBA will, therefore. fully subsidise the connection fee for eligible households. |
