To help improve water access in Altavas, Aklan Province, Philippines, FAO, in partnership with the Government has provided the community with a water impounding system designed to collect water from the rain and the waterfall. The initiative is part of a larger project, the Early Warning System for Food and Nutrition Security, funded by UNICEF and implemented by FAO in some of the poorest provinces in the Visayas region.
