As a special Christmas surprise, families in the Philippines received a huge sack of rice. With this valuable donation, the Child & Family Foundation has secured warm meals for these families.
The Philippines have had to transition from a rice exporting to a rice importing country - and with drastic consequences. Firstly, many farmers have lost their land and secondly, the inhabitants are now dependent on the imports and the price development on the global market. The increase in food prices hit the country particularly hard in 2008 and has resulted in the malnourishment and hunger.
Many families do not have the means to procure larger gifts. But most of their wishes revolve around covering their basic needs. As in 2016, the Child and Family Foundation has once again dedicated itself to provide people on the Philippines with a wonderful Christmas celebration.
20 families in the region of San Roque received a 5kg bag of rice. Such a seemingly simple present is in fact a great help to the families in need and has thus ensured that a limited household budget is spared and hungry mouths are fed.
In our projects, our main focus is on educational support, especially in our school projects. We believe that education is the pathway to empower people to build a better future for themselves.
Continuously supporting schools in their operation is just as well part of our work as is the construction and improvement of school infrastructure. Creating access to a secure educational environment free of charge in poor regions with comparatively high educational costs and inadequate public facilities is our goal.
