CFSI, in collaboration with Stichting BRAC International and the Philippine Government’s Department of Education, has been implementing the Basic Education Project in 15 conflict-affected municipalities in Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur provinces in Mindanao since April 2012.
The project is aimed at enabling far-flung communities without access to education to establish preschool and elementary schools, as well as organizing communities to put up classrooms, providing school supplies and equipment, and training local teachers and caregivers to carry out Department of Education-approved classes. Watch the Basic Education Project in action in this video from Sitio Bay, Barangay Kabingi, Datu Saudi Ampatuan, in Maguindanao.
