Provisional Programme (subject to final confirmation):

This programme is partnered with ICM (International Care Ministries), which has been serving the poorest of the poor in the slums of the Philippines since 1994.

 

Most of ICM’s beneficiaries live on less than US$0.5 per day, in crowded and unsafe homes, without access to clean water or sewerage, and suffer poor health, hunger and malnutrition.  They have few networks of support and live without hope.  ICM’s unique approach is to partner with the existing infrastructure of the local churches in most slum communities.  By providing the proper support, training and resources, ICM's core Transform program has lifted one million people out of the bondage of ultra-poverty.  As a community-based, holistic adult education program, Transform participants receive training in a Values, Health, and Livelihood curriculum.  The four-month program provides hope and a social support network, teaching responsibility, practical basic health skills to prevent illness, and livelihood skills from earning extra income.
