GFI Mindanao: Gift for Indigents

Achieving a quality education in the indigenous cultural communities (ICCs) in Southern Mindanao, Philippines can be very challenging. Most of the schools in these communities lack the substantial educational resource materials and do not have their own school libraries that could aid the teachers as well as students to have the same academic standard enjoyed by other school counterparts in the town center and even in highly urbanized cities.

In 2007, GFI started outreach for one elementary school mainly by sending books, some toys and kids clothes, school supplies and other educational resource materials. As of 2008, GFI is doing active outreach for the following schools namely the Maligo Day Care School, Maligo Elementary School, Kipalkuda Elementary School, and Landan National High School. GFI is also partnering with the Maligo local government unit to establish their Public Library. These outreaches are located in two provinces of Mindanao Island, South Cotabato and Sarangani Province.
