ACCESS TO EDUCATION

Access To Education

A project by the Past Region Governor Virginia Peñalosa during her term of office of two years, aimed to align with the mission, vision, and goals of Soroptimist in improving the lives of women and girls, particularly through education. This will enable them to become socially and economically empowered, thus, assuring them and their families of a better future. The project enjoins the participation of all clubs to enable the Region to achieve the Federation’s Big Accelerator Goal of providing education to five hundred thousand women and girls worldwide in the next ten years.

ATE a Filipino word

for older sister.

In this instance, ATEs would refer to Soroptimist club members who will implement the project and nurture the beneficiaries in their communities.

Rationale for this Project

Education is a basic human right. It enables and empowers a person.
Education helps one to acquire knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to make informed decisions, lead meaningful lives, and undertake active roles in society.
In this context, women and girls must have the opportunity to be educated in any possible form—whether in academics, the arts, technical, or vocational—and to advance their personal and professional development.
Educating women and girls and providing opportunities for lifelong learning are basic to achieving gender equality.
