Little Bamboo Foundation
Development through education in the Philippines
Why the Pier in Cebu City?
-
Cebu has over one million inhabitants and is one of the busiest harbours in the country
-
In the slums, there is no water, no electricity and low hygiene
-
The average income is below poverty level
-
The combination of these three factors leads to violence, drugs, prostitution and child neglect
In the slums, children are the first victims
-
They experience malnutrition, illness
-
They lack of basic care, and often do not receive any formal education
Quotes and how it all started....
