From an empty lot to a full campus
What began as the foundation of a single classroom is today a campus with a dormitory, an all-purpose hall, offices and staff housing.
Over 300 children in Binalbagan
The school that opened as a pre-school in 2011 now runs both junior and senior high school — and is preparing a vocational department.
Today the school in Binalbagan is fully operational with both junior and senior high school levels and helps over 300 children in need. The school opened its doors in 2011, first as a pre-school at the request of community leaders.
During regular visits by our staff it became clear that many teenagers in the neighbourhood were out of school. After finishing the elementary school in the centre of town, pupils had to travel a considerable distance to attend high school — a cost that low-income families cannot meet. A high school level was therefore established in 2012.
The school's management is now working on plans to establish a vocational department so that students can enter the labour market as skilled workers.
