After School Educational Programs

Over the course of four, five or six years (depending on whether the child enrolls in the program while in in Grade 1, Grade 2 or Grade 3), the Isipnayan math program of One Small Step Forward Foundation has significantly increased students’ math abilities, led to greater discipline and helped them build their self-confidence.

Since 2004, One Small Step Forward Foundation has made it a point to address the most urgent book and equipment needs of the public elementary schools where it operates.

Funding for Infrastructure and Grants

“The iSipnayan program has helped my children not only in answering worksheets, but more than that, it helped them become more independent and disciplined.”
