The ERDA Foundation Inc. helps Filipino children get an education by working with partners and donors, including The Japan Times Readers' Fund, which has extended support to the group for more than 14 years.
The Pag-asa Group of Japan introduced ERDA to The Japan Times Readers’ Fund. Its donations have helped children receive tuition. Their studies have also been monitored by ERDA partners and community leaders.
The fund has been able to support 25 ERDA children for the 2014-15 school year and 20 children for 2015-16. Three of the beneficiaries were Raiza Tolentino, Kean Geronimo and Aihron Gabriel Balleser, all residents of Metro Manila.
