COTABATO CITY — Interventions by foreign benefactors are effectively complementing current Bangsamoro regional programs addressing illiteracy in conflict-ravaged areas, officials said. The presence of foreign benefactors around is a big relief,” Ebrahim told reporters Saturday. Australian Ambassador Steven Robinson on Friday reiterated Australia’s willingness to continue helping promote quality education in BARMM provinces. Ebrahim said besides Australia and the United States Agency for International Development, they are also grateful to other foreign peace and development-oriented institutions helping the education ministry of BARMM. The International Children’s Action Network, the Single Drop for Safe Water Program and UN’s World Food Programme are also engaged in activities promoting the welfare of BARMM school children.
