Presenting one of the partner organizations of Miss Universe Philippines:
AHA Learning Center transforms communities through after school learning, creating an ecosystem of support and opportunity for low performing but high potential public school students. The problem they are trying to solve is #EducationInequity. Only 2% of public school students with poor profiles finish college. They are at a disadvantage, having to deal with overcrowded classrooms, reduced learning hours, and sometimes, troubled home environment that impedes development. Since 2009, they have served over 19,000 students- giving them the most number of free after school learning hours (6-8 per week, 200-300 hours a year) in the entire country. They direct interventions to the family, they believe that the parents are our partners in helping our students not only lead themselves, but lead others as well. They hope to inspire the next generation of role model Filipinos and community leaders.
Miss Universe Philippines invites you to join in helping AHA Learning Center through the Ring Light series. Check Empire.ph and click subscribe, and choose AHA as beneficiary. The P249 promo ($5 US) will only be this August. Thank you for the support.

A remarkable partnership for a pageantry organization. The youth should have access to quality education. For a pageantry organization to take into its platform one important avenue for the empowerment of underprivileged youth says a lot about its idea of celebrating beauty. This is an expression of celebrating beauty by fighting all forms of ugliness in this world, including illiteracy and miseducation, and their consequential impact on economic and social fabric of a nation.
This is a welcome project of MUP. The youth is the hope of the nation. As Ara Arida answered during the final Q and A “Education is the ticket to our future”.
