Education Reinforcement

In 20+ years of serving vulnerable communities, we’ve learned that investing in children is the surest way to bring about lasting change. Our staff, volunteers and program partners operate Dream Centers in six locations. We also operate an innovative mobile education program called I Believe in Kids Education (iBIKE). All of these programs provide nourishing meals, tutoring, and access to educational resources.

ER Dream Centers are after-school programs that provide safe spaces for vulnerable kids to receive hot meals, tutoring, mentoring, recreation, and spiritual instruction. Our dream is for all kids to become leaders in their homes, jobs and communities.

The I Believe in Kids Education (iBIKE) program takes education into communities using a motorized tricycle loaded with teaching aids and supplies. This innovative technique requires little overhead and can easily reach new communities.

The iBIKE program became part of ER’s educational offerings in 2022. The iBIKE team has several passionate leaders and reaches 50+ kids in an underserved section of Makati by bringing a motorized tricycle to their doorsteps. The vehicle features a large screen to display educational videos and presentations and holds chairs and classroom supplies.

Children are taught the basics of reading, writing, and math according to their grade level standards. They are also being developed spiritually through devotionals and as leaders through various lessons and activities. The children also get to spend time with each other and the staff in a safe community while they share nutritious meals together during every session!
