The American Women’s Club of the Philippines has won a grant from the Federation of American Women’s Club Overseas in order to support local charity Bukas Palad Foundation in their mission to feed and educate malnourished children and their families.<\/p>\n
MANILA, Philippines – June 3, 2025 – In its continuous efforts towards local community service, the American Women\u2019s Club of the Philippines (AWCP) has applied for and now won the Federation of American Women\u2019s Club Overseas (FAWCO) 2025 Development Grant for their project in partnership with the Bukas Palad Foundation in the Critical Health Concerns category. The Bukas Palad Foundation is a non-profit and non-governmental organization located in Pasay City that aims to help impoverished children and elderly with education, livelihood, and sustainable development.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This grant will be used for Bukas Palad\u2019s nutrition program targeting malnourished children. In addition to regular feedings of nutritious meals, the organization also educates\u00a0 the children and their families about healthy lifestyle habits to improve behaviors and mindsets that belie the issue of undernutrition. The $5000 of grant money will help fund meals of 20 children and the wages of four staff who will prepare, cook, and transport the meals as well as monitor the childrens\u2019 food intake for 120 school days.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s our first time applying for the FAWCO Health Development Grant and we are overjoyed to have won for the beneficiaries of our partner organization,\u201d says AWCP President Denise Faulhaber.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This initiative is just one of many charitable endeavors that AWCP pursues. In talking about how this project aligns with AWCP\u2019s core values, Co-President Keri Myers adds that, \u201cAs AWCP, we have always been dedicated to serve the community in our host country. For us and our members, it\u2019s important to give back as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
This was a particularly critical time for the Bukas Palad\u2019s school based feeding program as new sponsors were needed for the upcoming school year.\u00a0 Thanks to the FAWCO Development Grant, AWCP has been able to step in to help Bukas Palad continue their important work for the new school year starting this June 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are so grateful for the grant and the help that AWCP has extended to us,\u201d says Bukas Palad leadership. \u201cWith the grant money, we will be able to continue our work with the children and families and help them become healthier and empower them to lead their lives with healthy habits.\u201d<\/p>\n
AWCP also notes that this marks the recognition of a local charity initiative by a global organization. Faulhaber notes the significance of FAWCO as a global entity acknowledging the value in their work here in the Philippines, and hopes that this will invite greater international attention to local grassroots charities and their projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
