The UN Development Program has identified the province of Sulu in Muslim Mindanao in the Philippines as one of the most impoverished areas of the world, comparable to Malawi in Africa.
There are close to 100,000 students in the province's elementary and high schools. Most have no books or chairs, and sanitation and clean water are virtually non existent, leaving children at risk for waterborne diseases. Many have grown up under the trauma of war, terrorism and periodic displacement.
In our integration of education and public health the first step is digging drainage ditches outside of school facilities, and providing septic tanks and restrooms for boys and girls. Your contribution of $20 will provide basic health needs to a classroom of between 40 to 60 children.
