About the Partner Organisation 

Fundación Educación y Cooperación (Educo), a global development cooperation and humanitarian action NGO, has been dedicated to fostering positive change for over 30 years, operating in 14 countries. Their mission envisions a world where all children enjoy their rights and lead lives of dignity.

Educo Philippines, present in the country for 20 years now, has been actively engaged in promoting these principles, working with schools, communities, and local governments in Region V (Bicol) since 2005.
