The document discusses a drinking water project in a rural village in the Philippines aimed at providing drinking water access to 2,000 people living in poverty. It describes challenges with corruption in existing systems and outlines an approach that aims for local ownership by involving community leaders in all decisions. The proposed solution is a new drinking water supply system selected by community leaders to be implemented with a local NGO and financial oversight from an international organization. Donating leftover holidays from PhD students could help fund different components of the new system like pipelines or connections.
