KAPWA: The Ateneo Law School Charity Organization
KAPWA is a social response organization of the Ateneo Law School comprised of Ateneo Law students who desire to spread the spirit of service to others. Its aim is to involve the students in activities around the Philippines that will help others lead better lives. Part of its goal is to create sustainable development in society by providing help to the needy, education, funds for good causes, and social services.
KAPWA puts values as its driving force to create groups involved in social missions to reduce poverty and discomfort in society. The organization’s projects shall engage activities geared to form men and women for others in line with the Ignatian spirit.
Last year, Kapwa was able to do this through its main project, Share-a-Space. We were able to raise more than Php 40,000, to provide 200 public elementary school students with much needed tables, lamps, and other materials necessary for them and their online learning set-ups. Kapwa also used this opportunity to raise awareness on how the pandemic affected children, especially their schooling. Finally, in partnership with the Ateneo Law School Student Council, Kapwa raised Php 39,000 for the victims of Typhoon Agaton in the province of Leyte.
