Dear Friends,
AAI has been building new WASH stations in the schools we sponsor. We continue to emphasize public health in public schools. We give special consideration to the health needs of young female students. AAI has made a consistent effort to bolster hygiene by building water stations that provide students with access to clean water for drinking, washing, and brushing their teeth. Knowing they have access to clean water motivates girls to attend, and their classroom performance is improved.
Through the generosity of GlobalGiving donors, AAI is able to help communities build new deep-water wells. We are then able to promote and encourage school-based gardens that parents, teachers, students, and volunteers can grow and care for on school grounds. AAI provides seeds, tools, and supplies for the gardens, which provide fresh food for school lunches - cooked by volunteer mothers, fathers, and grandmothers.
Poverty, hunger, rampant waterborne diseases, and limited public health plague the Philippines. We counter these maladies through the support of our GlobalGiving donors, who make these programs possible. We sincerely appreciate your kind assistance. We could not do this without you!
If you would like to add to your support or begin a monthly donation, please click through this report, and GlobalGiving will prepare that for you to assist in this worthwhile endeavor.

Thank you,
Albert Santoli,
