Our advocacy

Due to poverty, many families struggle to send their children to school. Since most of their families’ incomes are spent on food, a lot of children start school without tool for learning such as pencils, paper, and other educational materials.   

This situation prompted us, a group of friends mostly alumni of Rizal National Science High School, to take action. In 2005, we successfully organized our first outreach project by donating school supplies to incoming Grade 1 students in Brgy. Boor in Cardona Rizal.



The experience taught us that even a small act can make a big difference, and made us realize that much is still needed to be  done and more children deserve proper education.

What started as a one-time outreach project became a yearly activity since 2010.   We are very grateful to the increasing support we received that contributed to the success of these projects:

May 2010 – Brgy. Malakaban, Talim Island, Binangonan, Rizal


May 2012 - Brgy. Malakaban, Talim Island, Binangonan, Rizal


May 2013 - Brgy. Villa Cerveza, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro (Mangyan community)



May 2014 – Brgy. Nayon, Tanay, Rizal (Agta Dumagat community)


May 2014 – Brgy. Pila-pila, Binangonan, Rizal



This May 2015, we are organizing another outreach project to help children get ready for school. Join us!



Our goal

Our goal is to raise resources to provide supplies (notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, paper, art materials, chalkboard, chalks, etc.) for the children and for the teachers.



How can you help?

You can help make this project a success through your cash or in-kind donations or any other form of help that you can extend. Join us and help our children succeed in life through education!
