Why this matters
Did you know?
Out of 327,851 schools, only 104,536 are in good condition
(The Philippines’ Basic Education Crisis Cite)
*Sta Lucia Central School -> one of the schools we are helping
That is less than a third that are in good condition
This needs to change.
Studies show:
-
There are about 16 million Filipinos that are below the poverty line making education a "luxury"
-
Lack of basic supplies make the quality of education poor in poorer schools
Let's create more opportunities for students

Our Story
How Brilliant Beginnings got started:
During the summer of 2023, my sister (Audrianna) and I (Alessandra) visited the Ilocos province in the Philippines, where my dad grew up. While visiting we noticed how highly underdeveloped the town was, and took reflection on the difference of how we, as Filipino-Americans, grew up and how many grow up in Philippine provinces. We knew we wanted to lessen this large differential gap, and decided to advocate for better education in impoverished communities in the Philippines. We want to attept to create equal oppurtunities and experiences for all!
