scholarship update

Picture
There are still many significantly poor in the areas we are working in who need education. So, if you can help by supporting another student or can encourage others to take up the call, we and the students would greatly appreciate this. 

A scholarship is an investment into not just the education of a single student but the spiritual and physical well being of their whole family and ultimately their local church community. 
​
Sponsorship begins at just $9.25 / week or $40 / month (NZD)
Tell me more....
Since the pandemic began in 2020, the Philippines Government has ordered for schools to shut and students to learn from home either online or by paper modules collected for them by parents or by a combination of both. Students have had parents as supervisors and pseudo teachers (most with minimal education themselves).  
This year 2022, schools are re-opening again after a long 2 years of online and at home learning. Churches have been able to meet together again in person and life has resumed to somewhat 'normal' again. Camps have resumed also as have our annual dental and medical checks so that is great news.

covid pandemic

The Philippines are slowly coming out from under lockdown but life is still very tough.
The government is providing some support but it is not enough and the full amount is not reaching the people who need it most. Some areas and communities are missing out.
We have started an emergency relief fund to be able to assist in a small way with groceries and essential supplies for families who need it most.


Would you consider making a one-off donation to families who desperately need help? You can use the Donate with POLI button to make a direct payment. Please use the reference 'COVID Relief'.

write to your student

Our students love to hear from their sponsor. Would you take a few minutes to write a letter of encouragement to your sponsored student and their family. Most families are doing it tough right now with lockdown, quarantines, no face to face classes at school and widespread unemployment so some words of encouragement will go a long way.
Tell them about your family, your church family, your hobbies and attach a picture of yourself if you wish.
