15 STUDENTS AVAIL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

A noble program started in the Victorias City Jail this school year 2007-2008. Fifteen (15) pupils/students, all children of indigent inmates in the city BJMP, are recipients of Php200.00 monthly educational assistance for their school supplies needs.

Funding for the Educational Financial Assistance to Inmates Children comes from the savings and profits of the different livelihood projects of the inmates in the city jail. Some of the city BJMP’s livelihood projects are hollow blocks making, piggery, handicraft using recycled materials and during Christmas season lantern making.

The program was conceptualized and implemented to minimize the occurrence of crimes committed by out of school youths and to help children of indigent inmates pursue their education for them to have a good future and become productive someday.
