ABOUT US
The Kristiyano-Islam Peace Library, or
KRIS, is an award-winning, non-profit, non-government organization based in Manila devoted to making education more accessible to Filipino youth living in poor and conflicted communities. Through its libraries, scholarship programs, and learning projects, it has been able to give aid to hundreds of students from Zamboanga City, Zamboanga Sibugay, Davao City, Rizal, and Metro Manila since 2001.
The new school year is about to start and we want our library in Quezon City to be ready and be able to accommodate children from Brgy. Holy Spirit better. We have been receiving book donations and school supplies but we have to organize the library first to make sure that we are serving for the best interest of the children and youth going to our library.
