A. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

What is the problem The well-water situation of Parian Oeste is one of the main
you are trying to problem that we are trying to solve: its quality, during
solve? drought season, the salinity of well water is rising, causing
the water to become salty hence unsafe; quantity, the wells
are usually shared by two – three households and relies
more on using a pulley and a bucket to fetch water from the
well; and usage, during rainy seasons, the well-water is
often infiltrated by rain water and the water they fetch from
it is brown and grainy.

Quality of agricultural lands or soil. The agricultural

production of Parian Oeste has been a vital problem in the
community for a long-period of time. The acidity of soil has
been a major hindrance in maximizing the output of Parian
Oeste’s produce, the agricultural land often gets flooded by
the sea-water and chemical contamination causing the
acidity of the soil.

Livelihood Integration. The focal source of income of the

people of Parian Oeste is solely through fishing and
farming. There is income instability in this community
because of the uncertain figure of harvest in crops and
fishes.

PROJECT DESIGN

PROJECT SARANAY: “Achieving sustainability through

Project Name: unity and community involvement”

The project aims to provide a holistic development starting

from micro-macro level, in a sense when individuals are
empowered from within the energy creates a ripple
Project Goal:
effect, we have to address the urgent issues that they are
facing in order for them to participate in the greater fight
towards sustainability. Specifically:
 1. Conduct a quarterly assessment of well waters and
treatment if applicable to ensure that the source of
water is safe enough to be used on a daily basis.
2. Conduct seminars on safe agricultural practices from
theories to application. Just to ensure that the
agricultural practices are non-hazardous to the soil
and to address the soil acidification which is highly
imperative in attaining food security
Provide resilient crops that are capable of
withstanding the acidity of soil while;
3. Provide livelihood assistance among the community:
Domestic Animals, Loans for Bilog and other
materials for fishing, hence a livelihood integration
for fishermen.
The project is expected to:
1. Cater to the needs of the community when it comes
to water supply;
Expected Outcome:
2. Promote healthy and sustainable farming practices,
alleviate the growing areas of soil being polluted,
and there will be enough areas to plant on to combat
food insecurity.
3. Integration of Livelihood programs within the
community provides more opportunities to alleviate
financial difficulties.
