EDUCATION
MANILA, JANUARY 24, 2012 (HOPE INTERNATIONAL)
Leila, a young mother in the Philippines, believes the poverty she
endures today is a direct result of being denied an education when she was a
child.
The Situation:
As a member of a group of indigenous people that are neglected and incredibly
poor, Leila worries about her children's future… and for good reason!
About 75 percent of children not in school right now have mothers who did not
have the opportunity to attend school. Knowing this, there is fear that an
entire generation of indigenous children will be condemned to a life of
suffering, just like Leila's.
What HOPE International Development Agency donors are supporting:
Scholarships are being provided to send children to school. The scholarships
include everything children need in order to be successful at school:
•Tuition fees, schoolbooks, clothing, and school supplies
•A safe environment in which to learn a wide range of topics
•Personal hygiene training and, for the older children, HIV/AIDS prevention
•Nutrition education, health education, and nutritional supplements
•Assistance and additional skills training for rural teachers •Additional
resource materials for use by schoolchildren and their community
The Result:
Children will not suffer the same fate as their parents. An education will
ensure that they are able to build a life that is free from poverty. Their
communities will benefit as well as the children share their new found
knowledge.
