Young learners in Tebeng and Caranglaan received more than just new facilities, they received a meaningful investment in their health and future.
On March 10, 2026, the Dagupan City Water District (DCWD) donated hand-washing facilities to Tebeng Elementary School and Caranglaan Elementary School as part of its Gender and Development (GAD) Program. The initiative aims to promote proper hygiene practices among students, instilling healthy habits while they are still young.
The successful implementation of this initiative was made possible through the unwavering support of the DCWD Board of Directors, headed by Chairperson Arlene Sanchez, and the dynamic leadership of DCWD General Manager Gretchen G. Buena. Their commitment to community welfare continues to translate into meaningful programs that directly benefit the youth.
Through the GAD Program, DCWD not only supports gender-responsive initiatives but also champions the well-being of future generations. By encouraging proper hygiene practices in schools, the organization helps nurture responsible, health-conscious individuals who will carry these values into adulthood.
Indeed, with every drop of water and every pair of clean hands, DCWD reinforces a simple yet powerful message: caring for the health of children today builds a stronger and brighter community tomorrow.
