We currently have 3 programs: Care Program - Provides clothing, shoes, toys to children in schools, orphanages and homes. This includes our school bag program which
we buy, assemble or distribute school bags filled with school supplies to children with the most need in local schools.
Book Program - Provide donated children’s reading books to schools in urban and rural villages. In addition, we provide educational kits
and US textbooks in Math, English and Science to local teachers to give them the best tools they need to create a love of learning
among their students.
- Special Programs - Provide help with special needs which may include medical help, emergency relief and nutritional program
assistance to local communities. These include hosting special programs like educational events and workshops
Care Program
Each year we send from 100 to 150 school bags to children from families who are at or below the poverty level. These bags include basics needed for school like pens, pencils, scissors, paper, notebooks etc. For many families these bags are invaluable. Our partner organizations select our recipients of this program.
In addition, we strive to provide day to day care for our organizations that provide shelter and a safe haven for children in need. Our orphanages are pre-screened, ensuring that all your donations reach the intended recipients. In the Philippines, the agencies we support are either recognized by the government Department of Welfare or monitored by non governmental watchdog organizations.
The shipping companies we use have been 100% reliable with all of our shipments arriving intact in 6-8 weeks at their front door. Whether our shipment is sent to the capital city, Manila, or to remote villages where the nearest town is 2 hours away by tricycle, bus or the local jeepneys, your donations have made it to their destinations. Book Program
We believe that knowledge can transform a life and break the cycle of poverty giving children the best chance of a future.
Our very successful book program, sends used children’s reading books to public elementary schools throughout the Philippines. We partner with the “Teach for the Philippines”, a Philippine organization whose purpose is to promote the love of reading and provide. The results are evidenced by the heartwarming letters and photos we receive.
Full color children’s reading books in English are difficult to find and in remote villages, they are nearly impossible to find. Teachers tell us that the children actually spending more time at school to read them. By shipping books that were destined for landfill we engage in what we call “educational recycling”. Teacher and Student donations from California schools such as Sunnyvale School District, Lakewood Elementary in Sunnyvale, Stocklmeir School in Santa Clara and Baywood Elementary School in San Mateo have helped us send thousands of their used books to be used in schools thousands of miles away. Special Programs We launched the "Uplifting Life Through Art" Workshop to provide a safe, creative, supportive and healing environment for disadvantaged children. We provide assistance for emergency medical or dental care for families as required. We host educational learning events for children in shelters and hospitals. We provide disaster relief supporting the work of many local nonprofits during natural disasters. |
