MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR A VILLAGE IN THE PHILIPPINES
BAYANDONG MINISTRY OUTREACH PROGRAM
MEET KRISSY
A COMMUNITY ADVOCATE AND DEDICATED EDUCATOR
Krissy is an inspiring individual who has spent the last three years educating young minds and supporting a village community in Bayandong. Her passion has led her to gather a team of dedicated volunteers who share her vision and together they have embarked on a meaningful mission.
​
Krissy and her team are working towards creating a stable environment where the children can learn and grow. Their plans include purchasing land to build infrastructure like a permanent school structure with proper facilities, such as classrooms and bathrooms. Their goal is to provide education that will empower children to make a positive change in their community. Krissy's team is also focused on educating teenagers on healthy relationships and discouraging teen pregnancies and early marriages.
​
They also plan to promote healthy living by planting and selling products to surrounding villages. Through these efforts, they aim to create a self-sustaining community that can serve as a model for others. Their plantation is designed to have an efficient process of planting and selling products to promote healthier lifestyles in neighbouring communities.
EDUCATION
Teachers are volunteering to support the educational needs of the children.
BIBLE STUDY
A regular bible study is hosted for the village families, which also contributes to the well-being of the children.
COUNSELLING
Aiding in the needs of the community and supporting parents to raise their children according to the word of God.
THE COMMUNITY
In this village, eight families, including children and the elderly, reside far from the city. One of the main issues they face is the lack of direct access to water. The villagers must travel a distance each day to collect water from a spring. The houses in the village are primarily in the form of huts or temporary structures, and there are no traditional bathrooms. The village is situated on a rural rice plantation, with vegetation serving as the primary source of income for families.
COMMUNITY NEEDS
All donations will be utilized for the community's necessities, such as clothing, food, school supplies, and essential medicine like paracetamol for fevers due to the absence of nearby clinics or hospitals.
​
Additionally, the funds will cover expenses for teachers, community transport, infrastructure development, and establishing their plantation to support the needs of the community.
