I posted an article about water use (and water saving tips), and about Filipinos — as well as Filipino-Americans using a “tabo” for the weekly WordPress Earth-Friendly challenge.

The website Mom Bloggers For Social Good recently posted photos and an article about Women and Water in the Philippines.
You can see a tabo on the photo above in a community area for washing clothes. Click on the photo or here to read about water and sanitation projects happening in rural areas in the Philippines.
There are also photos of women washing clothes at a Philippine river for my post on the Weekly Photo Challenge theme, Humanity (Liberated from Laundy?).
It is great to see development projects focused on improving conditions for women, especially water projects — and I take comfort in my belief that dedicated people are working to alleviate the causes poverty and inequality in our world.
Especially because my Philippine laundry photos — in our modern times — should be MUCH different from the one below, taken over 100 years ago…
