In 2000 the board of Stichting Kapatiran concentrated more on the educational objective and started its Basic Literacy 2000 Project, now called the Basic Literacy Programm. It is monitored by the Overall Coordinator in conjunction with Board Members who have close contacts with the local Coordinators.
Starting 2007 Kapatiran started small-scale livelihood projects for the Basic Literacy beneficiaries. The purpose of these projects is to give an impulse to the income of poor families. These families have already a relation with Kapatiran, because one of more children take part of the Basic Literacy Programme.
The Akay–Kalinga Center is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) servicing the street children of Zamboanga City. It has been run by the Katilingban para sa Kalambuan, Inc. for the past six years now. Its prime purpose is to provide the children with a safe and comfortable shelter. At Akay-Kalinga, the children find a respite from their activities in the streets during the day and especially at night time.
