100 Schools Program
“It is our firm belief that the only path to empowerment is education and the only way to achieve quality education is to build proper infrastructure for it. Education in Eastern Samar and Leyte has proven to be a challenge on many levels due to the devastation brought by Typhoon Yolanda. Since then, there has been a shortage of classrooms in which many are overcrowded, in poor condition and often with bad ventilation,” says Founding President, Mica F. Tan.

In response, the Tulungan Ang Nilalang (TAN) Foundation in partnership with The Juan & Isabel Zapanta Foundation (JIZF), will help build and rebuild a total of 100 Schools. The planned location of these schools were identified by the Department of Education as those areas in greatest need, with each newly constructed school having 2 classrooms that can accommodate 100 elementary or high school students annually.

The first of the100 schools to be built is the Brigida Elementary School in Tolosa, Leyte which will accommodate elementary school students from Grades1 to 6. This program aims to alleviate overcrowding, cut class sizes and reduce long travel distances.

He Cares Foundation
Built on the conviction that education is one of the keys to a better future for the country, the MFT Group’s 100 Schools Program together with He Cares Foundation, a Christian nonprofit organization, will work together to provide educational assistance to the street children in Manila.

The mission of He Cares Foundation is two-folded:

1.To help provide permanent residences to street children, eventually leadings to a safe and healthy livelihood
2. To strengthen the street children’s relationships with God.
