iCARE launches its Spring 2016 Campaign to raise $10,000 for the Girls Can Do I.T. program in the Philippines as part of the Heed & Thrive project in the depressed urban area of Adelfa, Navotas.
Under the project iCARE is supporting the Tanza Elementary School.
Ten year old Marianne is a Grade 5 student at the Tanza Elementary School. Her dad earns less than $4 a day as a fisherman, but he is committed to his daughter receiving an education. Now girls like Marianne at th...e Tanza Elementary School are being supported to follow their dreams through the Girls Can Do I.T. project.
Marianne is passionate about becoming a computer programmer. Without help Marianne would not be able to work on a computer in a clean school room. Without support she would have to save up two pesos to visit a cramped and poorly lit, smoke filled internet shop for an hour in her depressed urban area.

More Than 66 Million Girls Around The World Are Not In School
Today is the International Day of the Girl. It is a day to recognise much more still needs to be done to end the barriers that prevent girls receiving an education. Especially girls in some of the most poverty stricken regions in the world
Why? Because education transforms lives.
... For every year a girl stays in school she'll increase her income by 10%
Educated mothers are more than twice as likely to ensure their daughters are educated
iCARE invites you to join us in celebrating the girls of the world! We invite you to take a look at what we do in India, Kenya, Uganda and the Philippines to help girls to thrive. Our programs support young entrepreneurs and mothers like Purity in Kenya's Rift Valley and budding IT specialists, like Dorothy in Uganda. They encourage science and technology for primary school girls in the Philippines and education for young Indian girls like Reddamma to overcome becoming child brides. WWW.ICARE.ORG.AU/new-blog
