A myriad of non-profit organizations focus on education as a way to address the poverty issue in the Philippines. Many of these organizations provide everything from volunteer teachers to academic materials, from scholarships to classrooms–ostensibly covering all corners of the educational spectrum.
Makati-based Hands On Manila (HOM) takes a different, but equally philanthropic, route on education-veered volunteerism by focusing on addressing the needs of students with very high potential but do not have access to proper education that can enhance their capacity.
HOM enacts this project through Hands On School.
