Who we are
Fifty children walked fifteen hours to ask for a school.
In the first two weeks after ESNI opened, fifty Mangyan children and their tribal elders walked fifteen hours from their village to ask for a better future through free education. We began with 14 volunteers, a donated piece of land and two abandoned buildings with no electricity and no drinking water.
