                                                       Believing that proper basic education can
                                                       help us rise above poverty, Wash SyCip
                                                       conceptualized, initiated and funded the

                                                       aimed to reduce the dropout rate among
                                                       public elementary school children, through

                                                       farmers and fishermen in poverty-stricken
                                                       villages so that they can buy school supplies,
                                                       uniforms, and slippers for their children to
                                                       be able to go to school.
