Dear Friends,
Each year, thousands of Filipino families become homeless due to non-stop calamities including earthquakes, typhoons, floods, and volcanoes. In urban regions, the mountains and the countryside, women and girls are the most seriously affected. Asia America Initiative, our volunteer partners and GlobalGiving donors provide the invaluable gifts of books, home grown foods, farming tools and hygiene for long term success. This project empowers girls made homeless from these disasters by providing school supplies to continue their education and hygiene supplies for health and wellness.
AAI and partner organizations have expanded operations during 2023 to help more families in remote areas. Miss Tess, represents AAI and our partner OWI in purchasing seeds and other supplies for home-grown nutrition for our community-based Organic Gardening program. "The beauty of these feeding programs," says Miss Tess, "is the joy and confidence that the communities gain that they can survive their ordeals and rebuild their lives. In addition, providing story books to the girls gives them confidence that they will return to school and can overcome tragedy to succeed."
Our cost-effective projects empower girls to overcome homelessness by supporting their wellness and educational needs. Literacy, writing skills, and basic math build confidence and self-worth. These skills enable girls to recover after calamities. AAI's long-term goal is to encourage all children, especially girls, to excel in literacy and offer a have safe environment to achieve their dreams with dignity while learning how to feed their families and developing job and academic skills.
