The Campaign
Why 100 Schools
Mental health support shouldn’t be a privilege. The Philippines is at a critical moment in education and mental health. Campuses face a growing need for human presence, peer connection, and early intervention.
Students Talk to Students
Students often speak first to fellow studentsβnot professionals. Peer presence is the first line of support.
Early Intervention Matters
Early support can prevent escalation into crisis. Timely peer connection saves lives and futures.
Scalable Solutions Needed
Schools need sustainable, culture-based solutions that grow with the communityβ not one-time programs.
Leadership Redefined
Leadership formation must now include empathy, listening, and mental health awareness as core competencies.
Empowering students, One School at a time.
PROJECT DAVID responds to this gap by transforming students from bystanders into bridges of support.
