community, particularly for women, senior citizens, and students.

in promoting cleanliness and health among our constituents, especially women and
students who need this kind of support,” said Lagao.

principles of Gender and Development, particularly those aimed at uplifting marginalized
and vulnerable sectors of society.

promote health, and empower communities, one meaningful act at a time.
