Now on its second year, the very first Caritas Manila Celebrity Bazaar was held two years ago with former beauty queen and Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach as the Event Ambassador. The said bazaar alone has earned enough funds to support 5,000 YSLEP Scholars. There are between 3,000 to 5,000 YSLEP scholars nationwide. They are provided with a college or vocational degree which allows them 98 percent chance of helping their respective families to overcome poverty.
To
date, more than 10,000 YSLEP scholars have graduated from college and
vocational schools nationwide especially from the poorest provinces.
Caritas Manila is one of the biggest non-profit
organizations in the country led by its chairman, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle.
