The ACA Scholarship Foundation provides the means for underprivileged school children through school supplies and scholarships/grants, but also to eventually work towards a long-term goal of building a school that creates an environment for our youth where they are able to access their full potential.
Among the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of 2015, the goal of achieving universal primary education was not fulfilled for the Philippines. Education is the foundation for the rest of these long term goals because this gives our youth the tools necessary to combat poverty and prevent diseases such as HIV/AIDS.
With approximately 1.4 million children out of school, the net primary education participation rates have declined from 90% to 85% between 2002 to 2008.
