Education For All
Every child should have the opportunity to finish basic education. In the Philippines, this is somewhat of a challenge with as much as a third of children not graduating from elementary school. This is due to poor families being unable to provide children with the school supplies they need to continue on with their schooling. These children end up in child labour working the farms and as a result the poverty cycle continues. Help us break this trend! Right now, we need to raise $30,000 to support students in schools across Manila and La Union regions of Philippines. We request your help to provide them with school uniforms and school supplies to keep them in school. We are also asking you to help us support under performing students to improve their grades through enrichment tutorial classes aimed at improving their reading, writing and maths. Students who are supported through their education are less likely to cut class, join gangs or get hooked on cigarettes, alcohol and drugs. They will have an increased chance of progressing to the next grade and attaining a basic level of education. By pledging your support to ICARE we can raise $30,000 and support up to 1000 students across 8 schools in Manila and La Union regions of Philippines. Let’s focus on the delivery of a quality education as a pathway out of poverty! Please help children achieve their full potential through education to break out of the poverty cycle!
