Emily

Emily is now in 4th grade at West Fairview Elementary School in Quezon City, Philippines. Her father is a retired cemetery care taker and her mother is a housewife. Her monthly family income is £95 GBP, which is simply not enough to pay the £100 GBP per year required for uniforms, school supplies, meals, and transportation required to attend school given there are three other siblings in her family. Since she has been receiving funding from GreaterGood.org, her grades and attendance have increased. This year Emily attended 193 out of 201 school days. In her free time, her passion is dancing. She dreams of one day becoming a flight attendant. Emily has been receiving funding to go to school for the last three years. Although school is free, it's the cost of school uniforms, supplies, meals, and transportation that prevent children in poverty to go to school.
