In the year 2023, a peace monument was unveiled in Barangay Kauswagan. The Matanao Municipal Government and the Philippine Army's 39th Infantry Battalion collaborated on the peace monument. It was dedicated to those who laboured, devoted themselves and made the most significant sacrifice for the sake of peace. It also represented Matanao's metamorphosis from a conflict-affected area to a calm, thriving town. The peace monument was built as part of Matanao's attempt to promote peace tourism and highlight the region's natural and cultural resources.

One of the community's concerns is the learning poverty experienced by pupils due to reasons such as poverty, lack of access to quality education, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on schooling. The children's weak learning abilities may have significant consequences for their growth, family, and community. This may cause children to fail or drop out of school. When these things happen, the kids are more likely to encounter social marginalization and violence.

To address the challenges faced by students in Barangay Kauswagan, we aim to raise funds to combat learning poverty among children. Tailored interventions focused on improving reading comprehension are essential. By providing targeted resources, personalized guidance, and a conducive learning environment. Fifty students may develop the necessary skills to comprehend and analyze texts effectively. Such support not only empowers them to excel academically but also equips them with crucial life skills that will enhance their overall educational journey and prospects.

By supporting this initiative, you may transform the lives of fifty students. Your generosity and kindness will serve as a beacon of hope, igniting a passion for learning and empowering them to reach their full potential.
