Thank you for your amazing support this Giving Tuesday 2018.

Together we raised £1,016.25 (inc. gift aid). 

Wishing you all Happy Holidays!

Today’s Giving Tuesday! 

We invite you to join us on this global day of giving; Give children in the Philippines the chance to go to school. 

Our Giving Tuesday goal is to raise £1,000, and we only need £300 to reach our target!

Every child should have the opportunity to go to school.

Because of the cost of education and financial concerns, many families in the Philippines are forced to focus on one of their child's education at a time.

This is true at Sambat Trust.

Most of our scholars have at least one school-age brother or sister who is not in school.

After graduating from college last year, Jasmin joined the accounting department for a video game development company.

Having a child while still in college was a challenging time for Jasmin.

But she was strong-willed; she must graduate from college to give her son a better future.

Jasmin’s focus now is to work hard, so she can provide for her son.

​She’ll always be thankful to Sambat Trust supporters for helping her through this period in her life.

Following on from yesterday’s post, Eric joined Kristel on the local Alternative Learning System program last year.

Eric had looked for work on construction sites; in the hope that he could earn enough money to pay for his own education.

He was paid 80 pesos (just over £1) a day, when there was work available.

Eric's so happy to be back in school; he wants to be an engineer.
We hope you’ll choose to celebrate Giving Tuesday with us.

​So we can help more young people like Eric stay in school.

Kristel’s family could not afford to keep her in school after Kristel’s mother became ill. 

She didn’t go to school for two years. 

Thanks to the Sambat Trust Scholarship, Kristel returned to school last year. 

Last year was not easy for her. 

She was often teased for being much older than her classmates; but she was determined to continue her studies. 

Sambat Trust offered Kristel the opportunity to take the Alternative Learning System (ALS) program, so she would be in the correct school year come June 2018. 

She grabbed the opportunity. 

On top of school, Kristel attended the local ALS program every Saturday for five months.

Now she’s with classmates of the same age and feels much happier at school.

Last year taught Kristel a lot.

She showed courage and perseverance. 

​And we’re very proud of her.

Mark is a maths teacher at a local senior high school.
​
Now in work, he’s able to support his family financially; this includes his younger brother’s education.

Mark expressed how grateful he was to Sambat Trust supporters who helped him graduate from college.
