Empowering Boys Through Education at Minglanilla Boystown Philippines
The Sisters of Mary began operations at Minglanilla Boystown Philippines in 1993 to provide a safe, supportive home for some of the most underprivileged boys in the country. Boys ages 11 to 18 receive full-time care, education, and vocational training—giving them a foundation to escape poverty and build a better future.
Students follow a well-rounded academic curriculum that includes science, mathematics, and languages, along with hands-on vocational training. They gain valuable technical skills designed to meet current industry needs. Training programs include electronics (with a focus on solar panel installation and servicing), computer-aided design (CAD), computer hardware servicing, and auto-mechanics—including electric vehicle maintenance.
These skills equip graduates with the tools they need to secure stable employment and pursue long-term, rewarding careers.
