Philippines Child Sponsorship

Project Location : Manila, Quezon City, Legaspi, Tabaco
Key poverty-related issues : Poor families often live in shacks made of scrap materials, such as cardboard, tin sheets, thatched grass or bamboo. Depending on the location, many homes have dirt floors, no plumbing and no electricity.
Many children are unable to attend school because their families cannot afford required supplies, uniforms and tuition. One child out of three will not reach the fifth grade.
Respiratory tract infections, malnutrition, anemia and parasitic infections represent common health threats.
Cultural Information : Filipinos value family above independence and harmony over conflict. Filipinos are considered sensitive, relaxed people who avoid giving bad news. Several generations of a family commonly live together under one roof.
