Projects for education, health, livelihood, infrastructure assistance and other social services are all designed and implemented in close coordination with relevant local government units and communities. The Community Technical Working Group, which is composed of representatives from local government units, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, community organizations, churches and us, regularly monitors our performance in implementing our social development and management program.<\/p><\/div><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2 class=\"sub-page-title\">Education<\/h2><div class=\"sub-page-text\">We believe that a quality education is the best tool to fight poverty.
