[Virtual Presenter] The communities supported by ACAP Philippines are diverse yet share common challenges such as high population density, informal housing, limited access to basic services, and vulnerability to flooding and poor sanitation. From large urban areas like 4th Estate and San Dionisio, where informal livelihoods and social issues persist amidst strong community efforts, to smaller, flood-prone settlements like Valley 6 and Sitio Kawayan with limited infrastructure and health concerns, residents demonstrate remarkable resilience and solidarity. Many families rely on construction work, domestic help, or small businesses for income, while educational support through ACAP’s scholarship programs and local initiatives plays a vital role in fostering hope. Despite obstacles like narrow access roads, insecure land tenure, and occasional threats of demolition, these communities maintain active organizations and partnerships that work toward improving living conditions, disaster preparedness, and socio-economic opportunities..
