The Edukasyon para sa Kinabukasan, Inc. (Eduk, Inc.) commissions itself to provide Filipinos access to relevant, responsive and quality education and a venue to express their creativity, professional and personal growth, and to empower citizens through education. Eduk Inc.is located in a small village in Quezon City, Metro Manila. Nearby are poor residents who are mostly migrants from all over the country and most of the women are housewives. Moreover, majority of the adults are elementary graduates and the average number of members in a household is around five to eight. As much as children in the area want to get higher education, elementary and secondary schools are far off from the sitio. Despite tuition fees to content with, poor families still confront the basic issues on transportation and food allowance of their children. Eduk Inc. aims to realize a self-sustaining children’s Information Center that is volunteer-driven and community-led, to involve the community in the promotion of love for reading books with children and to serve as resource center for students and teachers, youth and adults; individuals and organizations interested in the library’s endeavors.
