Why does ANZA support City Gates Academy?

City Gates believes that children regardless of their financial situation deserve a quality education. This resonates with ANZA, as we believe education is the way to break the cycle of poverty.

How ANZA members have helped City Gates Academy

• Raised 55,000php to build a undercover area for parents and children at the school entrance.
• Yearly Christmas party put on with BWA and AWCP. The students are provided lunch followed by a variety of fun games and activities.
• Weekly ANZA, BWA and AWCP reading program, a group of volunteers would visit the school once a week to sit and read with the children to help build their confidence and literacy abilities.

(This was hugely successful but sadly, since COVID has hit and all schools across the Philippines have been closed this has been put on hold. We hope to resume once the situation improves).
