KRIS Library hasn't added a story.
In the Philippines, only 6 out of 10 young people attend secondary school. Out-of-school youth cite lack of family income as a primary reason for not attending school.
Our non-profit organization - KRIS Library - believes that education holds the key to empowering underprivileged Filipinos to escape the cycle of poverty and contribute to the nation's development. But we don't think that just any kind of education will do that; young people need a well-rounded education to really accomplish their dreams. We believe that through this initiative, we can produce not only bright future leaders, but also peace advocates.
This scholarship program is designed to help young people, primarily, have the resources to have a productive year at school. We will not only be paying for the enrolment and miscellaneous fees required; we will also be providing our scholars with new uniforms, shoes, school supplies, and an allowance to help them pay for food, project materials, and transportation costs (oft-ignored costs that are a significant burden to poor families).
Aside from funding schooling costs, we will also be organizing personal development classes, mentorship programs, and a special community project for our scholars. The objective for these extra activities is to complement what they learn in the classroom with opportunities to hone their soft skills and leadership acumen.
Finally, since our organization envisions to lay the foundations for a "conflict-free and progressive Philippines", the subject of peace is also in our agenda. With recent attacks in Marawi, Manila, and all over the world, it is only right to equip young people with key insights and skills that can help them jumpstart a culture of peace and understanding. By organizing a peace camp and exposing our scholars to the interfaith and peace projects of KRIS Library, we will be establishing peace as one of the cornerstones of their education.
The scholarship program will roughly be from June 2017 to March 2018. Our selection process is focused on identifying scholars coming from families with the lowest income. Since this is our first batch of scholars for this unique program, we are selecting young people close to our main office in Barangay Holy Spirit, Quezon City.
