Project H.E.L.P
Help End Learning Poverty

In the Learning Poverty Brief released by the World Bank in 2022, the Philippines ranks high in learning poverty in Asia at 90.5%. This can be attributed to several factors including poor quality of education, socio-economic factors, etc., which were most likely intensified by the recent Covid-19 pandemic. As a response to this pressing need, Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao’s Center For Service-Learning and Community Engagement (CSCE) launched Project H.E.L.P.: Help End Learning Poverty last September 22, 2023 at Langub Elementary School.

 

Project H.E.L.P. is a learning poverty alleviation project focused on helping improve the reading skills of the Grades 1-3 students at Langub Elementary School. Bi-monthly sessions are being conducted with the students throughout the school year. Moving forward, we are hoping to be able to implement the project in other schools in need of assistance as well.
