Rationale of the Project:

Barangay Muntingpulo faces environmental challenges, such as improper waste disposal,

lack of recycling initiatives, and inadequate awareness about sanitation and healthy living. This
project will address these issues by engaging the youth, the future generation of the barangay, in
environmental and health education.
  Why this barangay: The community is actively seeking ways to reduce waste
and improve public health. Additionally, children are the most responsive age
group to education initiatives, making them ideal advocates for these changes.
 Why the beneficiaries: Children will directly benefit from acquiring knowledge
on hygiene, nutrition, and environmental care, while their families will indirectly
benefit as the children implement learned practices at home.
 Supporting Images: (pictures of barangay and proofs that will support the
proposed project)
