“As a foundation, our main objective is to identify, support and develop viable solutions that address key societal issues and can deliver impact at scale. Our focus is on bringing safety and protection to as many people across our communities as possible through sustainable, long-term initiatives focused on education, health and safety”, Marc said. He went on to share Prudence Foundation’s experiences in supporting educational continuity and child safety through the Safe Schools programmes.
Together with Save the Children and the Department of Education in the Philippines, Prudence Foundation developed a nationwide Comprehensive Safe School Ecosystem and Disaster Risk Reduction Management Information System (DRRMIS) in the Phillippines as well as supported the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector (GADRRRES) in revising the Comprehensive School Safety Framework (CSSF) which will strengthen education systems to make schools safer for children and be protected from all-hazards, including the impact of climate change.
