- Projects
Our
programs aim to secure for the poor children
vitamins, medical aid and scholarship programs.
Focus
Today
in the remote areas of the
Philippines,
5
million pre-schoolers are suffering from
lack of vitamin A which means 17 children
can go blind each day if no action is taken.
Children who survive
their critically vulnerable first five years
of life too often fail to thrive because
their families are unable to ensure their
healthy development. Some may go blind from
a vitamin that costs less than a penny a
day, price of one burger a year.
We
hope you will help us implement our programs.
Medical
Aid
Working
through local volunteers, we seek the participation
of local doctors and teachers to organize
free clinic, at least for a day, for the poor
children through their local civic leaders.
Scholarship
Program
We sponsor scholarship
for deserving child so they can finish high
school or any vocational training courses
to prepare them for future livelihood.
No
matter where people live in the developing
world, those without job skills are often
forced to live lives of bare subsistence and
therefore easy prey for diseases. Giving them
direction is all that matters.
