Our Flagship Project

EDUCATION: Our main thrust is our notebook distribution which we started May 2014, when we were still called Kwaderno.  Every start of the school year, a child in a public school in the Philippines would need eight notebooks. In depressed and poor areas in the country, this need is already hard to meet as food and survival would be the priority of parents and guardians. We believe that if we are able to provide notebooks for these children, it can be an epitome of change. This is not just about doling out notebooks. It is about helping these children find their dreams and reach for it. It is not all the time that a ten-peso worth notebook can create much difference to the life of a child and even to the community!

Ambit is about helping poor children fulfill their own simple dreams, too. When we were young, we too struggled with just a few pieces of notebooks just so we could attend school. Some of us had to walk many kilometers to school, on barefoot, under the heat of the sun, or get wet in the rain. There is so much promise each child brings. We know that a simple act of kindness could make them reach miles and miles in their journey. In our notebook distribution project, we have been moved by how children would hold on to their eight pieces of notebooks like their life depended on them. You can't help but be inspired to do something so much more for these future citizens.
