Haligi ng Bata, Inc. : Adopt-a-School Development Project

At HBI, we aim to solve the problem of underserved and underequipped public elementary schools in the following ways:



 	


 	
Facelift- The Adopt-a-School Project focuses on the improvement of the school such as its facilities, materials, amenities and teaching practices during the first half of its implementation.



 

 	


 	
Empowering and providing livelihood aid- Livelihood projects implemented through the Adopt-a-School Program not only benefit the family beneficiary but also the school since the school has a share in the livelihood’s income. The school’s income can be used to fund improvement projects once HBI exits the project area. The family beneficiaries, represented by organized and empowered HBI Area Leaders, have the final say as to how project income will be used by the school.



 

 	
Rehabilitating sanitation and hygiene facilities- natural water filtration facilities will be installed to provide safe and clean drinking water. The project also aims to implement a health and sanitation program that trains parents more about waste management and trains children on proper toilet and latrine use, as well as good grooming and proper hygiene.
