Education Program

Kapuso School Development (KSD) Project

A school-based program which aims to foster integral education by providing students of underserved public schools, both primary and secondary, the following:
 
• Decent and functional classrooms which are conducive for learning
• Water distribution and sanitation facilities
 
Through the spirit of bayanihan, engaging members of the local community to provide supplementary and voluntary labor in the construction of the classrooms, 340 classrooms have been built and turned over. LGUs, private individuals and civic-minded organizations are also involved through varying levels of partnerships with the GMAKF.

Unang Hakbang Sa Kinabukasan (UHSK)

In order to reduce the dropout rate among poor Filipino children in public elementary school due to lack of school supplies (as cited by the Department of Education), the GMA Kapuso Foundation initiated the Unang Hakbang Sa Kinabukasan project to help both the parents and the students for the next school opening. Yearly, grade 1 students from public elementary schools nationwide are each provided with one UHSK backpack containing complete set of school materials that includes 5 notebooks, 2 pad papers, 2 pencils, sharpener, an eraser and a set of crayons.
