For some children in remote parts of the Philippines, basic school supplies such as a pencil or a piece of paper can’t be taken for granted. It’s common for poor school children to break a pencil into two or three pieces to be shared with siblings, and to use these broken bits until there’s nothing left to write with.
Donors can sponsor a LoveBag filled with school supplies good for an entire school year. Sponsor a LoveBag and put a smile on a child’s face today!
LoveBags have changed over time. They started out as sturdy water-resistant backpacks that contained essential school supplies. During the pandemic, we added hygiene kits to the mix.
Face-to-face classes have resumed and in order to help more kids, we’ve modified the LoveBag once more. We now give out colorful waterproof bags full of essential school supplies. When we have enough provision to provide other needs, we do so. For example, some students received uniforms and school shoes. We gave other children umbrellas and raincoats to keep them dry as they walk to school. One school requested lunchboxes and water bottles for their students.
Protect small feet that climb hills and cross rivers to get to school. Please email us at [email protected] if you’d like to give a gift of rubber slippers to a child.
