A Step Towards Breaking the Cycle

We are happy to announce that Captivating International, with its Philippine field partner HONOR 1000, is launching a project to assist 200 underprivileged children in Manila slum communities. For the first batch, we selected 70 beneficiaries to receive educational assistance based on criteria such as income level, age, and family status. It was confirmed with the local leaders and community child protection department that these are indeed the families who are having difficulty sending their children to school and thus resorted to begging.

During the distribution of the educational aid, parents of the first batch of beneficiaries arrived and committed to prioritizing sending their children to school instead of begging. The support of government officials in the slum community was also established during the meeting. We will also collaborate with the schools to monitor the performance and attendance of the sponsored children.

HONOR 1000 expresses its gratitude to Captivating International for initiating this project. With the thorough involvement of the parents, local officials, and the rest of the community, we can ensure that the aid goes to those who need it and create the most significant impact on the children’s lives.
