10 Study Loans in the Philippines

Having met in November 2023 in Manila an engaged staff of the organization ERDA, and having seen, in a confronting visit, the slums wherefrom children are offered a better future trough ERDA’s involvement, we support this initiative with 10 study grants as from 2024, to be continued next years, and a one-off (2024 only) contribution for a staff training on Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI), its principles and applications to ERDA’s work for the children, youth, parents and communities . Not only the team around this project is most fine to work with, they also have a holistic working philosophy in that not only a “mere contribution” is given to enable the children to go to school instead of getting lost in the streets of Manila, but also the parents are contracted in, as well as that “neighborhood initiatives” are taken.
