We are thrilled to announce the successful completion and turnover of the "Water is Life" Project at Rang-ay Integrated School–Datu Rudy Pandong Sr. Extension in South Cotabato!
This initiative, a joint effort between the Rotary Club of Koronadal and the Rotary Club of Baguio Highlands, provides students and the Sitio Lambalas community with a sustainable source of clean, safe water.

The project features a new water storage and distribution system designed to provide potable water to the school’s learners and the surrounding Sitio Lambalas community.

Led by Presidents Arman Ayson and Ponciano Valdez Jr., the collaboration was supported by District 3790 Assistant Governor Anna Liza Chan, Director Lala Manangan, and Rotarian Eric Manangan.

This joint venture exemplifies the Rotary mission of "Unite for Good," addressing critical infrastructure needs to promote health and sanitation in remote areas.

Thank you RC Baguio Highlands!
