About Us
Basic Needs Services Philippines, Inc. is a non-government
organization currently focusing on water and sanitary issues through infor-
mation and education campaign, and project implementation.
We are facilitating basic-needs
service projects in Indonesia, India,
Vietnam, Philippines and
neighboring regions. Some projects
in the African SADC-region are
on-going such as Cambodia, Laos,
Afghanistan, (America).
We and our country partners have
been collaborating with
international institutions such as the
World Bank, ADB, KfW, GTZ,
AusAID, CEU as well as national
and local Governments.
1
Our programs are financially supported by the Federal Republic of Ger-
many, the Commission of the European Union, the Free Hanseatic City of
Bremen, InWent, WSP (World Bank) and UNDP. And since 2001, we are
focusing on development co-operations that aim is to provide sustainable and
environmentally sound services for basic needs to disadvantaged segments of
society.
We are conducting our services in partnership with Bremen Overseas
Research and Development Association (BORDA) a German-founded
not-for-profit organization focuses on the development and dissemination of
environmentally friendly and appropriate technologies which enhance the
communities’ self-help potential, strengthen women participation and protect
natural resources.
The partnership is working for the achievement of the Millennium
Development Goals target for water supply and sanitation by promoting
and implementing demand-oriented decentralized wastewater and
sanitation services in highly populated regions in the Philippines.
Services are provided to communities, small and medium enterprises,
and local government units (LGUs) in conducting:
Community participatory education and
decision-making.
Feasibility Study.
Planning and designing.
Construction and supervision of effective and
cost-efficient appropriate wastewater treatment
systems.
OUR MISSION
To improve the livelihoods of disadvantaged groups within
societies and to sustain the functioning of eco-systems through
dissemination of demand oriented Basic-Needs-Services in the
fields of decentralized sanitation, water and energy supply as
well as solid waste and wastewater management.

Our Services

The following Services are currently available in the Philippines:
Quality and Knowledge Management
To achieve high quality standards of measures and
services, local implementation capacity,
competence and expertise must be built at an early
stage.
Target groups and stakeholders need to be
informed about different options in a systematic
manner to ensure high participation during
planning and management.
Available technical and management options are
adapted to preferences of stakeholders and target
groups.
Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System (DEWATS)
1 2 3
4 1. Settler
2. Anaerobic Baffled
Reactor
3. Anaerobic Filter
4. Planted Gravel Filter.
DEWATS projects support micro-small and medium-sized enterprises, institutions as well as
public administrations in planning, designing and constructing effective, reliable, cost efficient
and custom-made wastewater treatment systems.
Technical options within DEWATS are based on a modular and partly standardized design.
DEWATS projects are carried out in Indonesia, India, China, Vietnam and the Philippines.
DEWATS is very flexible, walls can be constructed using locally available materials.
4
Community Based Sanitation
Improved public health and reduced
water pollution.
Cooperation with communities,
NGOs, key-stakeholders and political
decision-makers.
Holistic project framework: Besides
improving sanitation infrastructure,
operation and maintenance systems
must be developed with participating
stakeholders that ensure the
sustainability of measures to improve
basic sanitation and community
hygiene.
The following services are available through our South East Asia partner
and BORDA:
Decentralized Water Supply
Remote mountainous villages in
Asia are often located far above
streams and rivers.
As mechanical supplies are
scarce, water-lifting services by
Hydraulic Rams provide a
continuous water supply for
essential sanitation & agriculture
purposes.
Appropriate capacity building
measures ensure that villagers
handle management tasks in
co-operation with partner organi-
zations.
Decentralized basic needs service: Water supply for households and agricul-
tural use
5
Decentralized Renewable Energy
Decentralized power generation by Micro
Hydro Turbines that are powered by the
flow-energy of mountain streams is a
proven method to provide remote villages
with electricity for productive and
household purposes.
Partner organizations are trained to
become “Micro-Utilities” and act as vital
service providers in marginalized regions
All households from a project village have access to electricity -or light, hot water and optionally for handi-
craft production.
Decentralized Solid Waste Management
A regular and environmentally friendly
collection & disposal of solid waste is
demanded by residents and local govern-
ments of Asian cities.
Good Practices of solid waste manage-
ment are characterized by the 3 R
principles: “Reduce – Reuse – Recycle”
Cooperation of residents, local waste
pickers and local government departments
is essential to plan lasting for
decentralized solid waste management so-
lutions.
