Because Manila and other major cities in the Philippines are in
Luzon, there are numerous charitable organizations already serving the
needs of Filipino citizens living in that region. Therefore, READ
Philippines will concentrate its efforts in the Visayas and Mindanao
regions at this time. However, Trustees may approve special
projects for the benefit of indigenous and poor children in very remote areas
of Luzon.
Beneficiaries in economically and geographically disadvantaged
communities in Visayas and Mindanao are eligible to apply for support.
You may submit a letter addressed to READ Philippines
describing your school, community and prioritized list of the type of
support needed (books, encyclopedias, computer, etc.). Please include
the name
of the school or library, location (barangay, town,
province),
number of students and teachers, and telephone numbers. We also require
information on the community (population size, sources of livelihood,
etc.)
An application
form is also available online at
http://www.readpilipinas.org/beneficiaries.htm.
Upon initial review of the application or letter request, READ Philippines may ask for additional information to fully evaluate the
application. A site visit by a program administrator or designated
READ Philippines representative may be conducted as part of the
evaluation process.
The letter and application can be sent via email (info@readpilipinas.org)
or postal mail to:
