Education, Social Inclusion and Equity, Active Citizenship

MAKIRAMDAM is a passion project for children empowerment through dynamic and interactive storytelling of forward-thinking children’s books. At MAKIRAMDAM’s core are children’s stories that open the conversation on social realities neither taught at home nor at school but deeply affect children's values growing up. While children's stories often have moral lessons on kindness and cleanliness, beyond these are also topics worthy of discussions like gender identity, safe spaces, non-traditional families, body positivity, and discrimination, among others. Goals: 1. Empower children through raising awareness on topics that affect their values as they grow up 2. Strengthen a network of volunteers in participating in socially driven causes 3. Capacity development of the Filipino youth
