Pru Life UK brings clean water and long-term community resilience to Bantayanons

In an uplifting effort to improve lives, Pru Life UK has launched the Ulan Alang sa Bantayan (Rain for Bantayan) programme, offering clean water and building long-term community resilience to residents of Bantayan Island, Cebu.

For years, families on the island have struggled with limited access to clean water, often walking long distances to fetch it. The Ulan Alang sa Bantayan programme has tackled this issue head-on by building two rainwater harvesting systems in Barangays Sulangan and Maricaban. Supplemented by the distribution of water containers such as pails and water jugs for each household, these systems will provide over 540 families with a 2,000-liter supply of clean water, eliminating the need for exhausting trips. Training for locals will also be conducted to ensure the facilities remain effective for years to come.
