COVID-19 Emergency Education Response

Dear Friends,

We hope this email finds you well and safe.

We are writing to give you the latest updates from FundLife's work across our education projects in Leyte and Cebu, supporting marginalised children and youth who have further suffered due to the impact the COVID-19 restrictions have had on their education.

With your support, FundLife continues to provide vital support to children, most of whom did not access face-to-face education between March 2020 - November 2022 due to the educational suspension caused by COVID-19. Our teams on the ground continue to reach children every single day. Below is a snapshot of some updates from Dec 2022 - Feb 2023 with some photos of our work in action;

• FundLife has Established 11 functional and accessible learning spaces in Leyte with the Department of Education across Leyte to support children with play, homework and life skills.

• From Dec 2022 - Feb 2023, we delivered 182 study support sessions (163.5 learning hours) to 543 academically challenged learners from 9 partner schools in Tacloban City.
  
  
• Delivered 86 after-school play-based sessions for 1,233 children from nine schools, two community sites and one child-care facility.
  
  
• Facilitated two consultation meetings and dialogue with parents and teachers. The activity enabled a safe space between parents and teachers to discuss the progress of students' performance and address pressing challenges.
  
  
• Organized nine fun learning festivals with nine partner schools and Child Care Facility to recognize good-performing learners and supportive parents. In 2022 awards and certificates were distributed to learners.
  
  
• Organized two big tournaments - Christmas Cup last December 2022 and 2023 Kick-off Football Festival in January 2023. The tournaments were organized to celebrate successful engagements with children. These tournaments were participated by 252 players and 31 teachers and parents.
  
  
• FundLife received the 'Most Outstanding Partner' award from the Department of Education for the 4th consecutive year for our work to assist the most marginalised students and youth.
