Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro East Urban Launches WATSAN Project for Community Well-being

The Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro East Urban (RCCEU) under the leadership of Club President Bing Dacudao and District Governor Gilda “Gigi” Go has embarked on a significant endeavor to address the fundamental human right to clean water and sanitation. The WATSAN project, supported by the District Grant of RID 3870, aims to provide improved sanitation facilities for the community.

The project involves the construction of sanitary public restrooms in front of the Gusa Barangay Hall, with separate cubicles for males and females. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on January 15, attended by the Gusa Punong Barangay, Marlo Tabac. The anticipated completion and turnover of this essential infrastructure are scheduled for February 27, 2024.

Furthermore, the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro East Urban is committed to utilizing the excess funds from the WATSAN project to renovate the existing children’s comfort room in the Gusa Day Care Center. This initiative is expected to benefit sixty (60) learners and underscores the club’s ongoing dedication to community welfare.

The Gusa Day Care Center, which was established 30 years ago under the leadership of then RCCEU President Sarah Borja, continues to play a vital role in the local community. The Rotary Club extends its appreciation to Architect Rtn Jonel Juaneza Tabilla and her team for their unwavering effort in making these projects a reality.
