The document discusses the Rotary Club of West Cagayan de Oro's Skyhydrant Ultra Water filtration project. The project initially struggled due to a lack of skills and competition from other water producers in the area. Two solutions were proposed: forming a cooperative with local communities, but this faced challenges in getting organized. The alternative proposed was a "build-operate-transfer" social enterprise model where the Rotary Club would invest in and operate the water system, then eventually transfer it to local control. The story of implementing this alternative model is ongoing.
