Under its small-scale projects scheme, the German Embassy in Manila granted 150,000 Pesos to the ERDA Technical and Vocational Secondary School in Manila yesterday. The funds will be used for partially renovating and equipping the school's clinic, providing additional electric fans for its classrooms as well as giving technical equipment for its vocational training workshops.
With its grant, the embassy wants to help improve ERDA's health services, provide a more conducive learning environment as well as develop a better quality of education.
Representatives of ERDA, led by School Principal Mrs. Jane Natividad, visited the Embassy for the contract signing of the project. German Ambassador Dr. Joachim Heidorn (photo) released the grant to Mrs. Natividad, who express her gratitude to the German Embassy.
Small-scale projects are local initiatives financed by the Federal Foreign Ministry through the German Embassy and are implemented through non-profit entities. Through quick and direct assistance, the projects aim to directly improve the quality of life among the poorest sectors of society.
