Project Details
Target areas for the GlobALS program are communities with a low literacy rate, a large population of out-of-school youths, indigenous peoples, and Muslim communities – predominantly coming from depressed, disadvantaged and underserved communities.
GlobALS learning centers and learning sites are situated in three regions of the country: Navotas City in Metro Manila (two sites); Nueva Ecija in Central Luzon (11 sites of the Alllights Village project); and Davao Del Norte in Mindanao (14 sites). The program has instructed more than 1300 learners since its inception in 2011. Every class has a minimum of 30 students and is instructed over a ten-month learning period. Among the learners, 60% are women and 80% are youths.
