The quality of education in many areas outside urban centers is below par. In honor of our founder, we have created a Founder's Legacy Fund to recognize outstanding women educators in rural areas through the Filipina Achievers in Rural Educators Award. FLORA seeks to honor exemplary Filipina educators who are able to initiate creative and innovative approaches to enhance the education and training of their students in rural communities. The award aims to inspire and challenge educators to be inventive in overcoming the hurdles of rural education - because our youth can only go as far as their minds are nourished.
