CFSI’s Basic Education Project is giving nine-year-old Saira Adam the opportunity to attend school despite the economic hardships facing her family. The Basic Education Project (BEP) - a collaboration between CFSI, Stichting BRAC International and the Philippines’ Department of Education launched in 2012 in 15 conflict-affected municipalities in Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur provinces - is aimed at enabling far-flung communities without access to education to establish preschool and elementary schools utilizing an alternative delivery mechanism.

Eight-year-old Hanipa Cosain and her 14-year-old brother Sokrie both have special needs - Sokrie an eye defect that has left him near-sighted, and Hanipa an enlarged toe resulting from elephantiasis.
