We help in bridging knowledge gap and nation building

CAL’s Lift Program is in partnership with the Philippines’ Department of Education. It helps public schools acquire decent computer training for both teachers and students. This is in line with the company’s mission to bridge knowledge gap, making a difference in national development. This program encourages the private sector to get involved in the development of the Philippine education system by sponsoring an IT program to less privileged schools.
