Feed & Clothe the Hungry Help Supply the Basic EssentialsPoverty in the Philippines is most acute and widespread in rural areas. Nationwide, one can compare poverty incidence rates of 21.5% in urban areas to the 50.7% rate in rural areas. In Manila alone (a city of 14 million) one in four people live below the poverty line. Every day, more people flee the hunger, unemployment and natural disasters hammering their home provinces and move to Manila. They bring their dreams of a better life and future with them. On arriving to Manila most are forced to live in overpopulated slum areas and even on the streets. In the Philippines many families lack the basic essentials we so much take for granted!
