PROJECT PROPOSAL

I. Description

A. Project Title

Construction of a Deep Well Water System

B. Project Location

Barangay Tulay, Jolo, Sulu

C. Brief Summary of the Project

The project primarily intends to decrease the poverty incidence in the barangay, in line
with the thrust of the National Government which is directed towards poverty reduction. It will
provide 2225 HHs in the barangay an access to clean and safe water. It also seeks to eliminate the
incidence of water-borne diseases in the barangay.

As the more serious sickness which may be brought about by unsafe water will drain the
budget of the family, availability of safe drinking water is a must to every household. Easy access
to safe water will also result to savings in time of family members which will pave way for the
accomplishment of other profitable undertakings.

The 92.5% percent of the households in the barangay have no water connections due to
the failure of the Jolo Mainland Water District, it failed to provide them with sufficient supply of
clean and potable water. As such, there is a necessity to tap the appropriate water source in the
barangay through the PAMANA Program of the DSWD.

The project will provide the much needed water system of the barangay through the
PAMANA Program of the DSWD in cooperation with the Barangay Tulay Local Government Unit
through its Barangay Development Fund.

D. Project Goals and Objectives

In general, the project is aimed at reducing the poverty threshold of the barangay from
80% to 65%. Specifically, it will provide the 1,105 individuals in 2,205 households in the barangay
an access to safe drinking water. It will also promote good health and cause the eradication of
water-borne diseases; and will reduce the time allotted by family members in fetching water, thus
savings in time would provide for the accomplishment of other lucrative activities.

F. Target Beneficiaries

The beneficiaries of the project are the whole residence of Barangay Tulay. With proper
management, it will give them abundant supply of safe and clean water which will also prevent
them from being afflicted by diseases caused by contaminated water. The easy access to a potable
water supply will also result to savings in time in fetching drinking water, therefore, would give
time to residents to accomplish other profitable tasks.

G. Project Partners

In the barangay level, the direct partner during the construction phase is the Barangay Council.
Other organizations in the barangay such as the purok, youth and women’s organization will
contribute to labor component of project construction. Once operational, the Barangay Council of
Barangay Tulay will take charge in the operation and maintenance of the project.

H. Technical Evaluation

The proposed water tank will be constructed in three different delivery areas approximately 500
meters from the service area in Zone III which is not susceptible to landslide and erosion. Also, the
proposed site is not susceptible to excessive surface run-off or flooding, not located near an active
fault line, and will not disturb any historical and monumental markers.
