Your Save the Children Update is Here!

By Riel Andaluz | Sr. Manager for Corporate Partnerships

Your support, which we have pooled with those donations we get from our individual donors enabled us to fund three crucial projects: Project Nurture in Samar, Catch Up Clubs (our playbased reading remediation program) in Saranggani, and our Advocacy Engagement in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao. Through your donations and the hard work and commitment of our project teams, you would be proud to know that these projects combined has allowed us to reach more than 3,000 children and adults!

We are proud that our programs in Samar have:

Improved the health of 267 undernourished children through Positive Deviance Hearth sessions
Trained 71 health workers on iClinicSys, Mid Upper Amr Circumference ( MUAC), Body Mass Index (BMI,) and data tools
Deployed iClinicSys in 8 Local Government Units (LGUs) for real-time undernutrition tracking
Reached 713 caregivers via breastfeeding awareness and responsive caregiving sessions
Provided 200 food baskets to support dietary diversity and behavior change
Advocated for policy change, resulting in:
- 9 LGUs localizing their First 1,000 Days (F1KD) ordinances
- Integration of Comprehensive Emergency Program for Children (CEPC) into local Disaster Risk Reduction and Health Plans

Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for supportng our work! We need you now more than ever! We hope you can ask your team mates to also donate!

As we say in the Philippines, maraming salamat po (thank you very much!) We couldnt have done all these without you!
