For Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Canada, education is more than just a pathway to personal success, it’s an opportunity to lift entire families and future generations towards brighter prospects. Move For Less, committed to supporting the Filipino community, recognizes the power of education and facilitates the exchange of educational resources through our Balikbayan box services. This blog post highlights how OFWs are leveraging their opportunities in Canada to empower their families in the Philippines through education.
Funding Education Back Home
Many OFWs prioritize their earnings to fund the educational needs of their children and relatives back in the Philippines. This commitment goes beyond tuition fees; it includes buying books, technological devices, and other educational materials. Move For Less ensures that these critical resources reach their destinations safely, helping students in the Philippines gain access to the best possible educational tools.

Scholarships and Educational Programs
Some OFWs take their commitment a step further by setting up scholarships or funding educational programs that benefit not only their families but also their local communities. These initiatives help cultivate a culture of learning and provide opportunities for many who might otherwise be unable to afford quality education.
Long-Distance Learning Assistance
With the advancement of digital technology, OFWs are also playing an active role in their children’s education through online tutoring and mentoring. Platforms like Skype and Zoom allow parents to be involved in their children’s educational journeys, despite the physical distance. They can participate in parent-teacher meetings, assist with homework, and provide moral support during exams.
Sending Educational Supplies via Balikbayan Boxes
Move For Less facilitates the sending of Balikbayan boxes filled with educational supplies. From textbooks and scientific calculators to laptops and educational toys, these boxes are tailored to enhance the learning experience of students in the Philippines. Each box sent not only carries educational tools but also the hopes and dreams of OFWs for their loved ones’ success.
Building a Foundation for Future Success
Education is seen by many OFWs as the foundation upon which their families can build a more secure, prosperous future. By investing in education, they are effectively planting the seeds for generational success, ensuring that their sacrifices today will pay dividends for their families in the future.
