About the Cause
Poor health and nutrition negatively affect children’s school attendance and ability to learn. We implement school feeding programs that look for alternative ways to ensure sustainable supply of nutritious foods to school children and young people in urban and marginalized areas.
In addition, contaminated water and poor sanitation are big factors that result in the death of children worldwide. In our programs, we always include what is called WASH which means Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. This is done through the design and construction of child-friendly and gender sensitive facilities for sanitation, such as latrines and hand-washing stations. We also provide clean water supply by building water wells and raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
My Story
Good day! My name is Rencie-lou F. Castro. 27 years old from Philippines. I have Chronic Kidney Disease, diagnosed last November 30,2021 in Al Qassimi Hospital. This is the hurtful moment of my life that is really killing me mentally. I can't accept the fact that doctor said it to me for the first time. I cried a lot and it killing me inside. Having this disease is not easy and making it worse was I am at tourist visa that time and I don't have a permanent job after I layed off on my previous company due to pandemic. I really don't know how can I be able to pay the treatment for the rest of my life, I need the treatment tree times in a week as I am jobless... But then I hold myself on that situation and fight for my life, that's why push myself to get a job. But even I got a job, my salary is not enough to pay all by myself. and I am suffering myself now for once-a-week treatment because that's only I can afford right now until I get a charity or someone who can help me with my situation... That's why I'm sending this letter to you please help me with this. I really want to survive. I have a lot of dreams but my situation making it so hard, please help me to fight for my life. Thank you very much in advance and so appreciated.
