Sponsorship - Financial Assistance for Student Commuters
The Philippine National School For the Blind (PNSB) is a government special school that operates a center –based special education program under the features of a residential-day school plan. The law mandates with visual impairment who are of school age.

Due to acute budgetary constraints, however, it is unfortunate that some students with visual impairment are encountering problems in commuting their way to and from the school in order to avail themselves of the free educational services offered by the government. This is precisely where the problem lies as transportation expenses get doubled considering that these blind students particularly the younger ones, will have to travel with normally seeing guide due to their handicapping condition, otherwise they will not get to school.

School statistics shows that there is an alarming increase in the rate of dropouts and absences of PNSB students every year and poverty identified as the leading and major factor that is responsible for this dilemma. As expected, those on the lower grade levels, constitute the biggest bulk of these school dropout and habitual absentees. Almost always, inadequate transportation budget is the reason given for these school problems and this reason comes about in the face of the sad reality that parents/guardians of these students with visual impairment are either unemployed or underemployed.

The objectives of this program:
1. To minimize the prevalence of school dropout and class absenteeism in PNSB.
2. To help students cope with the present and relatively high rates of transportation fare.
3. To enable students obtain the education they need for their total development.
