For 39 years, ERDA, a nongovernmental organization, has helped poor, disadvantaged and excluded children across the Philippines, especially dropouts, receive education.
ERDA has helped more than 700,000 children access formal and alternative learning systems. ERDA programs and services are offered nationwide in 34 provinces and 13 cities and municipalities in Metro Manila. This school year we are helping to educate more than 21,000 children.
On Nov. 8, the Eastern and Central Visayas regions were hit by Typhoon Haiyan, which left 5,211 people confirmed dead, 1,600 missing and 25,000 injured.
