Education and Literacy
Tabula Rasa
Project Tabula Rasa is the chapter's education initiative for inclusive and accessible education through the creation of libraries in rural communities in Bohol.
The title comes from the Latin phrase for "empty slate" and the program carries the tagline "From Empty Slate to Literate" as it pushes toward SDG Target 4.6 on literacy and numeracy.
The project responds to education gaps sharpened by the COVID-19 pandemic and the aftermath of Typhoon Odette by turning empty classrooms into dedicated library spaces for students who lack books, gadgets, and internet connectivity.
Fatima Elementary School in Cortes, Bohol became the first beneficiary through support from nine sister JCI chapters, four private businesses, and the Philippine National Police - Special Action Force 62 SAC Gunther.
This project is one part of the chapter's wider service work in Bohol. Explore the full portfolio or contact JCI Boholana Kisses to support future initiatives.
