 Lucena City Welfare Complex needs a new water tower: Construction of Water Tank as a long-term Remedy The issue about water has long been a problem at the Complex. The need for the construction of a big water tank is urgent. The number of people staying in at the 2 centers, and those who come for services for a day is enormous. Water is a basic need for the homes, for the washrooms and for the maintenance of the complex. This problem has long been in existence, and the limited capability of the local government goes only as far as the sustenance of wards and all programs of interventions stated earlier on. We have submitted proposals for support to various civic organizations to partner with us in this endeavor, but have not received any positive response. The technical aspect of the project is hereto attached for ready reference. Residents and volunteer among the sectors in need of our programs would contribute volunteer work/labor to enable the construction at a minimal cost. To some extent, local clubs can also contribute labor and other requirements of the project. Only the materials and essential technical input will be paid up or hired. All the rest would be done using volunteers.

Unable to occupy new building:A new structure is now built thanks to a grant from the Embassy of Japan to house street boys, providing a safe place for them to sleep and live. However, noone can move in due to lack of beds and running water. The City Government was able to generate funds from the Embassy of Japan for the on going reconstruction of the Reception and Action Center for Boys and the Girl Crisis buildings. Both facilities are two-levels, and would need more water than ever. However, because of the increasing cost of materials, the approved budget would not allow for the construction of a big water tank to distribute water to the two residential care units, as well as, the other center-based facilities thereat. . |
