Improve education in a small island community!

Hello everyone, thanks for finding this page.

 

For the past 9 months our team has been studying how to improve the electricity supply for the village of San Isidro in the Philippines. After visiting the community, we realized we could do much more and that the best way to help is by raising money to improve their elementary school.

 

The San Isidro Elementary School is located in the center of the village and currently is run by 6 teachers who are responsible for the education of roughly 170 students. The 4 of our team members who recently visited the village were impressed by how well the school was maintained on the outside, but were saddened when we were given a tour and the chance to speak with the teachers and students. We learned that every few years the school gets hit by strong typhoons, leaving damaged structures and holes in the classroom ceilings, which the school doesn’t have the budget to repair. On top of that, the school is without electricity!

 

Our goal is to help empower the children to reach their dreams by improving their educational environment. We are seeking 2000 euros to fix the damage by typhoons, 3000 euros to buy new solar panels and batteries, 3000 euros to buy computers, projectors, and printers for the teachers and students to use.

 

We believe that the future effects of climate change will only make it harder for remote communities like San Isidro to continue existing, thus supporting the education of the children is the best way to support their future economic growth.

 

Money goes a really long way in the Philippines. The potential we have to change the lives of so many is very tangible with even small donations. Together, we can accomplish something great.

 

Sincerely,

YUZU Team
