Adopt a Classroom is a component of the Development for Peace in Sulu program. This project is focused in Jolo, Sulu, and Lanao del Sur the most impoverished areas in the Philippines, located in Muslim Mindanao and threatened by the recent conflicts. Sulu ranks at the bottom in all Southeast Asian categories of health, education, employment and violence. It leads the Philippines in infant and child mortality and has a 65 percent school drop-out rate -- by the 6th grade. Through the people-to-people Adopt a Classroom project, you can provide basic classroom materials to impoverished public schools. This helps to deter violence and terrorism through building hope, starting with youth.
