Project Guardian Angel: Fostering Education

This project addresses the challenges of increased drop-out rates (with 5 cases last year) and low academic performance among 58 learners. It aims to enhance reading skills, transitioning students from frustration to instructional levels, particularly in grades 3 to 6.

For grades 1 and 2, the project focuses on helping struggling readers meet their grade-level standards. This initiative will significantly improve the learning conditions of 58 underprivileged learners at Dominican-Mirador Elementary School.

Our target learners are those who are learners at-risk-of dropping-out; learners who are struggling in learning and learners who lack educational support. 

They  are also the learners  who belong to below-average living status; whose parents are disintegrated; learners who are being cared by their grandparents and other relatives; learners  who are suffering educationally, emotionally, physically and socially.

Their  educational  performance are low, many cannot read, and most are bullies due to these scenarios and situations.
