Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation inaugurated its 113th Alternative Learning System (ALS) center at Bahay Pag-asa, a rehabilitation center for children in conflict with the law, in Malabon.
ย
This is the fourth jail-based ALS center that CLFI is supporting, in addition to the ALS centers they helped establish at the Muntinlupa City Jail in Paraรฑaque City, Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong City, Manila City Jail and the Quezon City Jail Male Dorm.
With inclusive education as one of its pillar advocacies, CLFI has been supporting the ALS program of the Department of Education since 2013. CLFI has so far provided Information and Communications Technology (ICT) equipment to 115 ALS learning centers all over the country.
ALS centers are strategically established in locations like Bahay Pag-asa to provide “second-chance education” to out-of-school youth and adults.
“Kami po ay nagagalak na ang Bahay Pag-Asa dito sa Malabon ay isa sa aming mga supported ALS Centers. ALS is our top priority, because inclusivity is one of the pillar advocacies of the Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation.โย — Jo-Ann Tacorda, Corporate Services Group Head, Cebuana Lhuillier
“Ako po sa ngalan ng lokal na pamahalaan ng Malabon ay lubos na nagpapasalamat sa kabutihang puso ng ating partner na Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation sa paghahandog ng mga teaching equipment na ito para sa ALS dito sa Bahay Pag-Asa.
