CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

At Maynilad, we believe that we are more than a water and wastewater services provider. We are a catalyst for growth and an agent of progress in the communities we serve.

Through our poverty alleviation and community development initiatives, we help improve the quality of life of countless people in the West Zone.

Below are some of the ways Maynilad helps its low-income and marginalized customers.

Samahang Tubig Maynilad — Launched in May 2009 to address the problems of water inaccessibility and irresponsible water use in Maynilad’s concession area. Under the project, residents of urban poor communities are organized and given training to make sure that they are capable of sustaining the water management programs in their communities.

Bayan Tubig — First conceived in February 1999, the Bayan Tubig program facilitates the delivery of safe and low-cost water to poor communities in the West Zone, through individual household service connections. The program has benefited 216,000 households since its launching.

Bayanihan Bayan Tubig — An offshoot of Bayan Tubig is the “Bayanihan Bayan Tubig” program. True to the spirit of Bayanihan, beneficiaries help themselves and one another by contributing time and physical labor to the program. Under the supervision of Maynilad engineers, the beneficiaries install the pipes that will bring water to their communities. This not only cuts the cost of the pipe installation project, it also fosters a stronger relationship within the community while instilling a sense of ownership of the project among the recipients.

Lingkod Eskuwela — Maynilad’s Lingkod Eskwela project is intended for West Zone public schools that have no access to clean and potable water. It involves the construction of drinking fountains, clean-up of water reservoirs or tanks, and regular sampling of drinking water to check its quality. Under the project, Maynilad also conducts regular desludging of the schools’ septic tanks to ensure proper sanitation.

Participation in PGMA’s Serbisyo Muna Caravan and Patubig Program — Maynilad is a regular participant in President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s “Serbisyo Muna Caravan,” during which customer problems and issues related to West Zone water and sanitation are promptly addressed.
