Welcome to Calawis Community
Sitio Balon is a home to 25 Dumagat Remontados families in Calawis, Antipolo. They are living in the mountains and are used to farming of root crops and banana. Some are working as construction workers/vendors. It is near Mt. Purro. The community relies only on car batteries, kerosene lamps and candles for their energy. We were introduced in the community in 2020 through a partnership with ATECo and WGC. Aside from lighting their homes, we are also looking to support their cooperative through solar hub.
