What we teach
The Philippines has the largest number and proportion of stunted children in South East Asia, as proper health education are not commonly taught subjects in the public school curriculum. Improper practices of nutrition, hygiene, and sanitation lead not only to the physical stunting of these children but their mental stunting as well.
Through education, Bare empowers children in marginalized communities who do not have access to these valuable pieces information to brighter and healthier lives and futures.

"The students have learned so much from Bare's lessons and I hope that they will continue to apply their knowledge outside the classroom."
