II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Health to Wealth Project is a project to install a compost bin to encourage sustainable

garbage disposal, enhance local waste management, and reduce flooding by putting in place
an effective drainage system. In addition to improve waste management through composition,
this project will lower the risk of floods and decrease landfill waste. The goal is to enhance
environmental sustainability and improve community infrastructure.

Key Activities:

 Find a designated area for the compost Bin to ease the collection of waste in the
community.
 Repair and clean the drainage system in the community.
 Conduct a seminar about the cause of the floods and unorganized waste management,
thus providing ways to reduce these cases.
 Conduct a seminar on how to use and sustain the Compost Bin and the new and clean
drainage system in the community.

Estimated Budget

The project is estimated to have 350,000 Php budget for fixing the drainage system and
providing the compost bins in the community

Estimated Time Frame

The Health to Wealth Project is estimated to be accomplished/finished within 2 months,

including all preparations, the process and seminars

III. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE

The benefits of the Health to Wealth Project will be sustained through a robust
maintenance plans, financial sustainability, and ongoing education. Regular inspections and
scheduled maintenance, supported by designated caretakers, will ensure the infrastructure
remains functional. Collaboration with local authorities and alignment with waste
management policies will provide institutional support, while feedback mechanisms and
performance evaluations will guide ongoing improvements. The use of durable materials and
adaptable designs will ensure the infrastructure remains relevant and effective, fostering a
lasting positive impact on waste management, flood prevention, and environmental
sustainability.

Community Ownership

To ensure the long-term success of the Health to Wealth Project, community

engagement will be focused on involving residents in the planning process, providing
ongoing education and training on waste management and composting, forming community-
led committees for oversight, offering incentives for participation, and maintaining regular
communication through meetings, newsletters, and social media updates. Partnerships with
local institutions and local government programs will be utilized to integrate the project into
broader sustainability initiatives, while continuous feedback mechanisms and periodic
reviews will allow for adaptation based on community input and evolving needs.
