This organization continues to exist because of the refurbished facilities of the Yen Center, an old training facilities in the Philippines.

In 2013, the Yen Center provides almost half of the total revenues generated by the organization.

The renovation of the Yen Center facilities was done in 2011 without the support of the IIRR President and its Board of Trustees.

IIRR is changing the lives of both children and adults all around the world. They work tirelessly to promote education for girls, women, and other marginalized communities ensuring that they have a chance to overcome poverty and positively change their communities. They also work with entrepreneurs to help them get into the global markets. They are doing great work, and it's inspiring to see how involved their staff is! I've been to a few of their events in Manhattan and those have been fun as well. I hope this charity continues to do great work!
