Education will help break the cycle of poverty that has trapped many Filipino families for generations. Through financial contributions, in-kind and/or material donations as well as collaborative efforts between local volunteers and Filipinos living overseas, READ Philippines seeks to implement the following programs.
Adopt A School - - This program has three components: (1) Books for Classrooms and Libraries, (2) Technology for Learning, and (3) Classroom Supplies.
Books for Classrooms and Libraries - Many poor and remote areas in the Philippines do not have adequate books in their classrooms and public libraries. READ Philippines will assist in providing educational materials for school classrooms in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Public libraries in remote rural areas also qualify for support under this program.
Technology for Learning - READ Philippines will help schools in poor neighborhoods enhance teaching and learning by providing new or used computers, printers and educational software programs.
Classroom Supplies - READ Philippines will provide basic classroom supplies such as notebooks, writing paper, pens and pencils, crayons, etc.
Special Projects - - Upon approval of Trustees, READ Philippines will implement special projects that (1) provide scholarship aid to deserving students, 2) facilitate access to educational resources by a large number of beneficiaries, (3) promote literacy through reading, and (4) other educational programs that benefit poor Filipino children.
Emergency Relief - In times of natural disasters in the Philippines (earthquakes, typhoons, landslides and similar catastrophes), READ Philippines will provide emergency relief to communities in need by coordinating shipments of used clothing and other basic necessities to communities in need.
