The city of Malaya is a rural area, many citizens typically working in agricultural settings and careers. Many families often find themselves struggling to provide adequate school supplies for their children. These financial struggles can impact a student’s self-esteem and academic performance. Supporting these families with school supplies ensures students have equal access to education and reduces the barriers associated with lacking supplies.  

With the increase in typhoons, earthquakes, and other natural disasters in the Philippines, the community is also vulnerable. Many families also lack access to basic emergency supplies. By providing students with small emergency items, students have the tools to respond accordingly.

With my City Director project, my goal is to make the gap a little smaller by providing basic school supplies such as books, pencils, backpacks, and emergency items such as face towels and whistles, all in hopes of giving more access to education for those who may have trouble affording it.  I aim to bridge the gap between education and student accessibility through donating school supplies and hygiene products, all in hopes of making the transition to schools much easier for the student and the parent.
