The AGF Slipper project is a shining example of how a group of individuals can come together to make a difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate. In this case, the project is aimed at helping impoverished children and underserved families and children in the Philippines. The impact of poverty is something that is felt acutely in this region, with the last 2017 conflict in Marawi only serving to exacerbate the situation.

According to ADB simulations, the number of people living below the poverty line in Lanao del Sur could increase by around 150,000 due to the destruction of public infrastructure and services, the damage in Marawi, and the high share of families that were already vulnerable before the conflict. The poverty rate in this area could rise by more than 13 percentage points in 2018, compared to 2016. This means that the already high incidence of poverty in Lanao del Sur is likely to remain elevated for some time, as many families have lost their income-generating assets. The poverty gap, which measures the severity of poverty as an average of how far people are below the poverty line, will also increase in the most affected areas.

The AGF Slipper project is aimed at addressing some of the challenges faced by the people in this region. By providing slipper to displaced communities affected by the Marawi siege, the project is helping to alleviate some of the pain and suffering experienced by those who have been affected by the conflict. Thanks to the efforts of the dynamic team behind the project, 719 pairs of slippers were delivered to Saguiaran, Lanao del Sur, in December 2022.

The success of the AGF Slipper project is due in no small part to the dedication and commitment of the individuals involved. From the Board of Directors, Headed by Dr. Mac Lichauco, Christian David, Mar Garchitorena, Belinda Alcopra-Reponte, Irma Almazan, Mary Anne de Chavez, Danton Pajarillaga, Dan Maines, Edgar Soan, and Gloria Velasquez, to the local volunteers who tirelessly support the project Headed Madam Jennifer Arteta , security team headed by PLT Joel S. Berilla, ACNA team who voluntarily headed by Pres Larry Receno, JR Bayani , Sir Jimmy Bautista and Albert Peralta, ILNAPOP headed by Madam Grace P. Romano, Prof Manny Cabido and Rodelyn Cabido for their transportation, Media coverage by Mary Anne de Chavez-mdc and her team, Nadia Español , Anxaryh Nhoor II , everyone involved has played a critical role in its success.

It is important to note that the AGF Slipper project is just one of many initiatives aimed at making a positive difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate. By becoming a GEM Ambassador, individuals can help to support the mission of the AGF and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. While physical presence is not a requirement, there are many ways in which individuals can contribute to the project, such as by distributing brochures and informing others of the charitable work and mission of the AGF.

In conclusion, the AGF Slipper project is a testament to the fact that small acts of kindness can have a big impact on the lives of others. The project has helped to provide much-needed support to those affected by the conflict in Marawi, and it is an inspiring example of what can be achieved when people come together to make a difference. With the continued support of individuals around the world, the AGF can continue to make a positive impact in the lives of those who need it most.
