A Safer Journey: Donations Needed for Sitio Cablao's Farmers

The farmers of Sitio Cablao in General Nakar, Quezon—like Marisa, Joey, Nerisa, and Ramiel—must navigate treacherous, muddy, and rocky mountain trails just to bring their essential harvested crops to market. This difficult, distant journey of about 4 kilometers sustains the 80 to 100 families living in this rural community.
A safe farm-to-market path is crucial for their livelihood, yet the current conditions pose a severe challenge, particularly when the trails become impassable during the rainy season.
The residents are appealing for a practical solution: donations of cement. This cement will be used to patch dangerous rocks and establish solid landing marks on the muddy paths, creating a safer and easier hike while carrying their products. Let's help them secure their harvest and their future.
TO DONATE: Please contact Medel Melitante, 09952686973, for more information on how you can extend your support.
