Thousands of children live and work around the dumpsites of Manila, their lives blighted by grinding poverty that is impossible to escape without help to stay in school. Your donations will buy the educational opportunities that every child deserves but is denied to these children.

Situation
A future out of the grinding poverty and horrendous conditions of the dumpsite is a massive challenge for these vulnerable children. Failure in the state educational system is endemic in the population, children drop out of school, many needing to work to meet the family's basic needs. With no money available even for basic necessities, the costs of going to school become impossible to meet. Other children have nowhere safe to live and need sanctuary to be able to survive and go to school.
Solution
Donations to our charity provide scavenger children with a range of support to help them achieve their potential through education. A free school for 4-6 year olds, giving them the head start necessary to succeed in main stream education. A scholarship scheme for ages 6-25 to maintain them in education instead of dropping out to work as scavengers including a Saturday school with food. A residential home for children with nowhere safe to live where they are nurtured, loved and educated.
