FWA–UK has sustained its commitment to the education and the improvement of health and well-being, especially of young women and children in the Philippines. It has a healthy scholarship programme that started with one profoundly deaf student at the Southeast Asian Institute for the Deaf. The number of scholarship beneficiaries has grown to nearly one hundred including the elementary school children from different schools in the Philippines from Luzon to Mindanao.

The Education and Scholarship Grants Committee is responsible for the evaluation of applications for scholarship for high school students in the Philippines, and the recommendation for approval of applicants that meet the criteria to the Executive Board.

The committee comprises current members of FWA-UK. The Committee meets at least twice a year, prior to the start of the school year in the Philippines, to receive progress reports for current scholars and to evaluate new applicants.

The Committee is also responsible for evaluating the merits of applications for grants for projects under its ‘Support-a-School’ programme. Through this programme, more students will benefit from the additional learning and teaching resources and improved learning environment in their school.

FWA-UK launched its “Support-a-School Programme” in 2014. In the aftermath of super typhoon Haiyan, it became apparent to us that schools that were directly hit by the typhoon needed help to recover some of their teaching and learning resources e.g. computers, printers, audio-visual equipment. Through our “Support-a-School Programme”, we were able to donate some equipment to affected schools in Tacloban, Leyte where some of our scholars are enrolled. We were also able to facilitate a UK based school (St Peter’s Roman Catholic High School) to help Cawayan Elementary School in Carles, Iloilo, a school that was destroyed by typhoon Haiyan.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Filipino Women's Association UK to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Filipino Women's Association UK will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate.

When Filipino Women's Association UK receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
