HP and Atayde Foundation to empower Filipino children

HP Philippines is working with the nongovernment organization Atayde Foundation to reach 150 children in three remote communities in the country to encourage continuous learning while finding ways to improve and maintain their mental health and wellbeing. In line with its global goal of accelerating digital and enabling better learning outcomes, this collaboration includes distributing printed learning kits that focus on reading, writing and art therapy to children in Sagada, Mountain Province; Nueva Valencia, Guimaras; and Isabela City, Basilan.

'Our partnership is consistent with HP's commitment to providing access to education for students, especially in underserved communities. This means empowering everyone to learn anytime, anywhere, with the right educational programs, technologies, and tools,' says Christian Reyes, Philippines managing director of HP Inc.
