The right to health for all people means that everyone should have access to the health services they need when and where they need them without suffering financial hardship says World Health Organization WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Healthy communities are crucial to sustaining development and reducing many existing inequalities. With good healthcare people are able to pursue opportunities for self-improvement and live long happy lives. However quality healthcare remains unavailable to a significant number of people. WHO estimates that at least 400 million people globally lack access to basic healthcare with a staggering 1.6 billion people living in fragile settings where weak national capacity coupled with protracted crises present a significant challenge to accessing the health services they need. This holds true for the Philippines where people have very limited access to medical care.Challenges to accessibility are systemic and include issues like the lack of resources poor capacity in existing facilities and lack of medical personnel. The country had a 1:1,100 hospital bed to population ratio prior to COVID-19. There is a significant shortage of health personnel with a doctor to patient ratio of 1:33,000. This is an alarming number given that the WHO recommendation is at 1:1,000 for doctor to population ratio. With over 65% of hospitals in the country being private entities low-income individuals are put at an even greater disadvantage. Additionally only 47% of barangays smallest administrative unit in the country had a designated public healthcare facility. The COVID-19 pandemic has put further strain on an already fragile healthcare system with hospitals unable to keep up with the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the country. This has made it even more difficult for Filipinos to access the medical care they need. 0 22412 At The Ruth Sembrano Foundation we believe that access to quality education is not just a right its a life-changing opportunity that can break the cycle of poverty and empower individuals to build a brighter future. Education is one of the most effective ways to create systemic change and uplift entire communities. Studies from UNESCO reveal that if all adults completed secondary education the global poverty rate could be cut by over 50%. Yet barriers such as poverty lack of infrastructure and limited resources continue to deprive millions of this fundamental right. Globally 258 million children and youth are out of school including 59 million primary school-aged children. In the Philippines the challenges are equally pressing. Half of Filipino families face barriers to basic education leaving countless children without the tools they need to succeed. For marginalized communities education is the first and most vital step toward a better life. The Ruth Sembrano Foundation is committed to bridging this gap by ensuring that quality education is accessible to those who need it most. By investing in education we are investing in the future empowering children and families to rise above poverty and create sustainable change for generations to come. Our mission is clear: education transforms lives and together we can transform communities. 30000 17152 39564 Joshua Sembrano President 30 0 0 0 Marie Anton Education Advisor and Liason 20 0 0 4271 Morgan Fadel CFO 5 0 0 0 Daniel Mo COO 5 0 0 0 Liam Kelly CMO 5 0 0 0 Samantha Price Social Media Coordinator 5 0 0 0 Jonathan Tiralosi Accountant 1 0 0 600 false false false false false false false false false CO Bullseye Bookkeeping LLC na Remote Bookkeeping Bernardsville NJ 07924 9373485908 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 0 0 0 22556 22556 0 0 0 0 179 179 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22735 22735 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22735 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22736 22736 X Part III - Line 1, Unusual Grant Lists | Name of the Contributor:, Date of Grant:, Year:, Amount:, Description:| Donor, 07 02 2025, "2025", $30000, Winner of the CISCO RSG Grant| RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| Merchandise, $2640.00| Advertising and Marketing, $1070.00| Bank Fees, $240.00| Subscriptions, $199.00| Licenses and Registrations, $208.00| Travel and per diem, $804.00| Office Supplies, $20.00| Software and Supplies, $1288.00| Transfer Fees, $2608.00|
