Alay Kapwa para sa Karunungan
Educational Assistance Program
The primary mission of the program is to help poor, vulnerable, and academically challenged students. Meaning, the EAP scholars are below-average students who have a strong desire to finish their studies. This year, we will extend our reach as we will partner with 9 new Diocesan Social Action Centers or DSACs. Thus, starting the school year 2023, the EAP will cater to 21 DSACs from Luzon to Mindanao which provide assistance to 837 scholars.
Services:
We provide educational and financial assistance not just to the scholar but also to their parents in coordination with the different programs of the DSACs.
