Real progressWith the support of Plan, children and adults inthe Philippines are working together to developtheir communities and claim their right to abetter future. And real progress is being made.Last year, our work included:

• Offering families the chance of betterhealthcare for their children by buildingor rehabilitating over 20 health centres

• Protecting children from diseases causedby poor sanitation by working with families to build or upgrade over 2,500 latrines

• Improving the quality of education for children by offering training to over 4,800 teachers on better teaching techniques

• Helping to keep children safe from violence and abuse by training over8,000 community members and volunteers on child protection.

Plan’s greatest successes come from a joint effortcombining the hard work and determination ofcommunities, children, volunteers, staff, and partnerorganisations. The ongoing support of our sponsors is a vital ingredient, too. It’s their generosity andcommitment that allows us to continue to help children in 49 of the poorest countries in the world.

So on behalf of the children and communities we work with, thank you to all our sponsors!

Challenge and change in the PhilippinesLast year was one of challenges and the promise of positive change for the Philippines.In November 2006, homes and schools in the central Albay province were devastatedby Typhoon Durian. But Plan worked with partners to provide emergency reliefsupplies and with communities on longer-term rehabilitation.

In 2007, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, President of the Philippines, brought hope with the announcement of new investments in education, low-cost housing and cheaper medicines.

Yet, in a country where more than 14 million people live in absolute poverty, muchremains to be done. Plan continues to work with families to keep children healthy,increase their chances of a decent education, connect families to clean water and

sanitation and improve their incomes.Children’s rights are central to ourwork, and we are committed toprotecting children from violence andpromoting their voices.

In this Country Progress Report, we look at just one successful projectwhere Plan, working with localcommunities, is lifting families out of poverty.

Called ‘Fish for Every Family’, the project

aims to help families increase their

income by farming and selling tilapia

fish, while keeping some in reserve to

supplement their children’s diet.

Like all the best solutions, it makes useof local resources in a way that farmerscan sustain for themselves. In SantoNiño, farmers had all the resource theyneeded right in their own backyard –the land around their houses wouldmake excellent sites for fishponds,abundantly supplied with water fromthe Busuanga river.

Right from day one, Plan’s partnershipwith local families has been crucial tothe success of the venture. The villageelders organised themselves into acommittee to look for possible locationsfor the fishponds, and to help Planidentify the farmers who would benefitmost from taking part.

These farmers helped to prepare thesites for the ponds, provided labour tobuild them and feed for the fish. Planand PCAMR gave them training on allaspects of fish farming, from selectingstock and preparing the ponds tofeeding, monitoring growth, harvesting,transporting the fish and book-keeping.

Right from day one, Plan’spartnership with local familieshas been crucial to the success ofthe venture.

Once we supplied them with their firstbreeding stocks, the farmers neverlooked back. Ronel is one. He explainshow his business works:

“We reproduce our own tilapiafingerlings [young fish] and I’m one ofthe suppliers. I sell fingerlings of four tosix weeks old at a lower price thanother suppliers. Farmers need not go farto look for fingerlings. I have toproduce more so that I’ll have enoughsupply for other participants.”

Excellent sales have meant the farmers’income has increased markedly. Andaside from the additional income, theponds have brought other benefits.Every harvest, some of the fish is keptback to feed their families. On thefertile edges of the ponds, they havebeen able to grow vegetables like okra,aubergine and water spinach. These,added to the ducks and hogs thefarmers keep, are giving their childrenthe chance of healthy, nutritious mealsevery day.

Nestling by the Busuanga River, in

Occidental Mindoro in the centre of the

Philippines, Santo Niño is a lovely place.

Surrounded by lush green paddy fields,

the beauty of the village and the

countryside around it gives no hint that

as little as four years ago, life here was

unbearably hard for local families.

The people are subsistence farmers,

living off the land. When harvests were

poor, many struggled to feed their

families. The consequences for their

children were devastating: over a third

were malnourished, leaving them weak,

prone to illness and unable to make the

most of school.

Malnutrition on this scale drags

everyone down with it. When children

are sick and miss out on their

education, they are denied the chance

to learn the skills they need to build

better communities in future and lead

healthier, more prosperous lives.

Local expertise, local resourcesFamilies in Santo Niño knew they had

to give their children the chance of a

better future. So, when in 2005 Plan

and the Philippine Council for Aquatic

and Marine Research (PCAMR)

proposed setting up a fish farming

project in the area, many were keen to

be involved.

BringingcommunitiestogetherWith demand outstrippingsupply, life is definitelyimproving for the tilapia farmers.Farmers like Sonny are not onlyputting better food on the table,they’re earning enough to buyhousehold items, and to pay fortheir children’s education.Sonny is also able to do something henever thought possible before: save. “I add the savings to my small capital,”he says. “Life is easier now.”

Others would agree that plentiful fishsupplies have made all the difference totheir families. Now they have food duringthe dry season and malnutrition amongthe children has fallen considerably.

But the project’s real success is perhapsone the villagers could not have foreseen.“One of the best things about the projectis it pushed us to help each other,” admitsAnalyn, the village health worker.

Villagers worked together to build theponds, and they’ve been workingtogether ever since. For Plan, it’s proof

(if any were needed) that with the rightsupport, the poorest families knowexactly how to sustain developmentprojects and make them work for their children.

“One of the best things about theproject is it pushed us to helpeach other.”

Parents have shown their children howto look after the ponds, and they enjoymaking sure the fish are healthy and fitfor sale. It’s a development Plan isdelighted to see, for it means the nextgeneration is already taking its firststeps towards a life free from poverty.

Some names have been changed for privacy and childprotection reasons.
