My Story
In the case of the Philippines, Filipinos have a high rate of illiteracy. According to figures from the Department of Education and the National Statistical Coordination Board in the Philippines, 1 in 6 Filipino kids will not attend school, and only 7 out of 10 kids will complete elementary school.
As of 2018, a quarter of the 105 million Philippine population lived in poverty, that is, over 26 million people. Through various anti-poverty programs, such as the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform, and the Social Reform Agenda, the Philippines has been through a long battle to improve those statistics.Despite these governmental efforts, the race on how poverty affects education in the Philippines and reduce illiteracy in the Philippines has been a slow process.
The poor in the Philippines are most likely self-employed farmers, fishermen, or other agricultural workers who, instead of sending their children to school for proper education. For most of these poor households, only about 60% of the family members have education up to elementary school.
Due to inadequate care and proper education, many Filipino children take to the streets to fend for themselves and their families. They are searching for a means of survival.
Help us support health educatation services for 800 children. A donation of Php 300 could support health education services for 800 children which includes the necessary tools to diagnose malnutrition and they need to support their studies , and train volunteers that could assist in providing health services.
In the last 40 years, Save the Children Philippines has been able to help protect every child’s right to fair and equal access to nutritious food by calling on the support of government, civil society organizations, and the public through our #LahatDapat campaign. With your support, we are determined to achieve even more significant progress in promoting and protecting the rights of children. #SavetheChildrenPHat40 #ForAndWithChildren
