Aim

Some “Mangyans” girls – ancient ethnicity which lives in the most remote part of Mindoro –  supported by us since some years in the elementary school, have demonstrated a strong dedication in studying; so we have decided to support economically the continuation of their secondary and superior studies.

Beneficiaries

Circa 30 Mangyans girls from 10 to 20 years. Having a suitable instruction will give them the possibility to create a dignified future, but, above all, they will have the opportunity and the ability to help the others to grow up, to become concious of the possibilities given by studying, reaching a taking of conciousness of their duties and rights in society.
