("HEAL") Program

Many students in elementary and high school drop out because they need to work or help out their family - a trade-off between schooling and family obligation. But it need not be that way. HEAL aims to get these out-of-school youth to finish up to senior high school without taking them out of their homes.

They study from home and we provide tutorial centers where they can get guidance. Having a diploma can significantly increase their chance of getting relevant technical training after (e.g. from TESDA) or going into college (via scholarship or as a working student).

HEAL falls under DepEd's Home Education Program and uses DepEd's approved modules. MFI currently covers out-of-school youth in marginalized communities in ParaƱaque and also runs HEAL for the Rotary Club of Makati. As HEAL expands, it is our dream that no student will ever have to give up schooling again.
