Read here more about the construction of our new STUDENT center!

We're almost there!!!

We’ve got the land, but we need your help with finishing off the building…

BACKGROUND

In 2019 about 1000 families were relocated by the government to ‘Ericka Louise Ville’ (Naic, Cavite). Most of them came from the slums in Manila, including 60 of our beneficiaries.

Young Focus is now constructing a student center on 250 m2 of land near where these families live. This building will serve as a central location from which Young Focus can conduct and coordinate student and school activities. The main meeting room will be big enough for at least 100 people.

Activities in the center will include:

Tutorials and life skills sessions for students
Training for parents on family care
Computer lab and library for student use
Education for children who have dropped out of school
Preschool classes

PLEASE DONATE!

Would you like to get involved in helping us complete the construction of the new center this year 2023! Young Focus has been able to purchase the land and begin the construction. A remaining amount of USD 50,000 (or about PHP 2.7M) is needed to finish the construction of the building and equip it with computers, a library, chairs, tables. etc.

See our artist’s impression of the building below. Doesn’t it look amazing! There’s enough space for more than 100 students or parents in this new center!

A dream will finally come true for our students living in Naic, Cavite: for the last four years they haven’t been able to receive all the services we’ve wanted to give them… Also, with this building, more students will be able to enroll in our sponsorship program, plus education can be given to school dropouts and preschoolers.
