How We Help
Public education is available, but attending school still comes with everyday costs. For lower-income families, transportation, school supplies, uniforms, books, projects and other education-related expenses can add up. K.I.D.S. provides targeted assistance to students at Cayetano Arellano High School so these practical costs are less likely to interrupt their education.
Current annual support: PHP 6,000 per student
THE CHALLENGE
Why Support Is Needed
Public schooling in the Philippines is free, but attending school still brings costs. Transport, uniforms, supplies and school projects can stretch families’ budgets. When the household budget is stretched, continuing education can become difficult.
