Getting a better life depends on our education, good education is essential for the future of the children of Koronadal city. However, not every family is fortunate enough to be able to afford education for their children. We, from Aliawan Enterprises do recognize this problem, we do believe that education is the cornerstone on which to build our future and the future of South Cotabato. Where we can we will give scholarships to those students who are willing and motivated to finish their education. At present more than 80 students have been granted a scholarship, but there are more students who need and deserve our support. We cannot do this alone, supporting eachother is just one part of our philosophy. To support one child for one year will cost not much more than five  (5) US dollars (!). If you want to help us to support the children of the Bacongco Elementary School you can send us an e-mail if you want more information.

In august 2007 Aliawan Enterprises was awarded a certificate of recognition for having willingly established a strong partnership with the Department of Education by providing assistance to the Bacongco Campus and de Bacongco Elementary school, thereby making the learning environment more conductive to the attainment of quality education. The certificate was given by the School Division Superintendent Ma. Rosa A. Gutierrez in the presence of the Education Supervisor and Coordinator from the Department of Education, Koronadal City for the Adopt a school program, Mr. Mario M. Madrero. DepEd’s Adopt-A-School program gives private entities the opportunity to become active partners by providing assistance, either on a short-term or long-term basis to various concerns in public education.

In the last years we were able to support many children. Various ceilingfans for  the classrooms could be installed, one comfort room for one of the classrooms could be constructed, we started building a stone fence around the school complex and a piece of dirt road in front of the school could be covered with cement. We had the possibility to give financial support for the completion of a school-canteen and we could see that all of our scholars graduated. The Principal of the Bacongco Elementary School asked us if we would be able to seek donations for the purchase of sporting goods, like footballs, baseball bats and -equipment. We sincerely hope somebody or company will be able to fulfil that wish, please be so kind to contact us if you are willing to give this school the support they need. The rising cost of living is forcing many families to keep their children out of school because they cannot afford its costs. The rise in the number of children dropping out of school was the result of the rising prices of goods and services, especially food and energy. Although the poor are exempt from school fees they cannot afford transportation costs, canteen fees, uniforms and books.

Our goal is to provide educational and financial assistance that will facilitate the formal schooling of the children., we hope that this effort will prevent some children from dropping out of school and more children are helped on the road to a better life. On behalf of the children and the teachers of the Bacongco Elememantary School we would like to thank all those nice people who made a donation. Aliawan Enterprises will continue it's support for the school.
