Hi! My name is Erwin Diesta. Coming from the Philippines myself, I have experienced first hand what it's like to live in grossly unequal conditions. It even becomes harder when you don't have any education as it reduces your competitiveness. This is why I support ANCOP who seeks to empower both adults and children through the gift of education.

We in ANCOP believe that education has the power to break the cycle of poverty. By giving individuals the tools to help themselves, they increase their dignity, become self-reliant, and become conduits in helping others as well. Through the acquisition of knowledge and skills, they increase their competitiveness in the job market and eventually become providers for their family.

To further support our students, we also have initiatives for community development and calamity response. We build shelters, livelihood and give aid when disaster strikes the areas we support. By doing this, we make sure that the education of our the students are not as disrupted.

Help us achieve our mission to answer the cry of the poor! ANCOP Australia also have mission areas in Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Solomon Islands. Currently, we have at least 1,000 scholars supported across those Melanesian nations and the Philippines. However, we believe that we can support more. As the gift of education can get passed on to the next generation, you have the means to make an multi-generational impact. Help us create a better future by donating. Every dollar you give is another step in empowering struggling individuals in those areas.
