The Asian Development Bank Staff Community Fund (ADB-SCF) was founded in 1997 by employees of the Asian Development Bank to support community and livelihood development initiatives in Metro Manila, Philippines.<\/p>
Dedicated to fostering impactful programs, the ADB-SCF is sustained by generous contributions from ADB staff across 68 countries. Over the past decade, it has established a valuable partnership with Miriam College, providing crucial support to deaf students in both the Higher Education Unit (HEU) and the Skills Development and Technical Education Center (SDTEC). This support includes partial subsidies for essential services, such as sign language interpretation, note taking, tutoring, and materials needed for assessments.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
