Dell’s Powering the Possible grant will
provide 620 children with access to technology across Metro Manila
Dell today announced it has joined the advocacy of Childhope
Asia Philippines, Inc. (CHAP) to help close the learning gap among underserved
children. CHAP will receive a Dell Powering the Possible grant that will
facilitate its aim to empower street children through education and computer literacy.
CHAP works with the underprivileged street children and
out-of-school youth in Metro Manila to give them equal opportunities for
learning through several programs, including basic literacy and numeracy,
alternative learning system basic education, computer literacy, as well as life
skills, values and primary health education. To facilitate its outreach and
protection/education program, the charity is aided by mobile education vans
with street educators that are deployed to 18 locations daily where street
children are commonly found—in parks or on the sidewalks of urban centers—to
teach children there.
