Introduction
During previous decade, Philippines has been among the most rapid economic growth. The country’s Gross Domestic Product shows 5.6 percent growth in the first quarter; 5.5 percent growth in second quarter of 2019; 6.2 percent growth in third quarter; and GDP shows 6.4 percent growth in the fourth quarter of 209. According to Philippine Statistic Authority, the GDP have 5.9 percent growth in full-year of 2019 which made the country fast growing. As the result of the recent year economic development, one percent of all Filipinos are estimated to cross poverty line every year. Today, as we can see, poverty is very rampant to Filipinos. The World Bank projected poverty incidence in the Philippines at 20.18% on 2019.
Philippines is a dynamic, diverse and complex society. The increasingly industrialization and fast growing does not only pose problem related to the allocation of resources and powers, but also severely challenges the natural environment. Environmental degradation such as contaminated water, unhealthy soils, and polluted air had become a harsh reality to this country.
The damage local environment hits the most vulnerable groups of society the hardest. Poor and marginalized people lack the resources needed to reduce the negative effect of degraded environment. At the same time, they are usually dependent on their close environment for their daily survival.
One result of the urbanization in the Philippines, a growing population is the problem of waste. About 35 50 ton of garbage is generated every day in the country. On the average, each person in the country produces about 0.5 kg and 0.3 kg of garbage every day in both urban and rural areas, respectively.
Project Summary
The Solid Waste Management (SWM) project for maximum waste recovery through composting, recycling, and reuse, and aims to reduce waste disposed onto dump-yards and landfills. The long term objective is to reduced the environmental degradation caused by solid waste.
By using composting method to manage the biodegradable waste, we are able to.
Minimize waste that needs to be disposed in centralized landfills,
Reduce the environmental impact of disposal sites as the biodegradable waste fraction largely is to blame for the pollution and methane problems,
Benefits the soil by using organic compost instead of chemical fertilizers.
A properly run decentralized SWM project will contribute to a cleaner local environment, maintaining pure surface and ground water, healthy soils, and clean air. Noteworthy, a clean local environment will immediately benefit the most vulnerable groups of society, where livelihoods often depend on the natural resources available locally.
Project Details
The SWM project will be implemented in every town of the country. There will be compost shed, a material shed, and an office constructed on every town. The employees are two supervisors three driver, ten street collector, and two site worker that will manage in every town. In order to collect the waste from households and transport into the site, the project will have a garbage trucks.
I proposed that the donors contribute with 100% of the direct project costs during the first 3 months from the government. After 3 months, the project will be financed by the community waste fund. A community waste fund will be set up where the household fees(15-25 pesos per households) will be amassed. After initial 3 months, the fund will be used to meet project expenses.

Total Amount

As with most projects, risk and external factors may influence the project to a certain degree. One such risk is slice government budgets for SWM systems are generally covered by overall property tax. There will most probably be an initial resistance towards monthly fee to be paid by the households. Another risk is creating a solid support for the project from various community such as the public, students, volunteers, employees, and etcetera, because some of them are stubborn and unaware of their doings.
This project will be done in three months. The outcome of this project will contribute not just in the country but for the whole world.
