Our very first recipient is the family of Lovely Simbulan. Her husband died in an accident leaving her to care for her 6 young children ages 1 to 8 years old. Her only means of livelihood to feed her family is by gathering wood up in the mountain and bringing them down to sell in the market. None of her children go to school because of hardship.  She and her family became the first recipient of our livelihood program. During our last visit, she was already producing enough eggs to sustain her family and she was able to send her young children to school.

We are constantly on the look out for  families Mrs. Simbulan. You too can help with a small donation so we can continue this life-altering mission.

These infestations cause stunted growth, poor intellectual development, anemia, and impaired cognitive function, especially among children. In Metro Manila alone, there are over 1.6 Million children on the street. They can easily be infected by touching infected soil while playing with their bare hands and bare feet. This infestation can easily be preventable by just providing feet protection. This is one of our ongoing programs to help and provide slippers (Tsinelas) to young kids in poor areas in the Philippines. We go out to the poor areas where children play barefoot and provide them not only the slippers but also teach them the importance of health and sanitation especially playing barefoot.  We also have food distribution as part of the program.  Your small donation can help to provide the protection needed to combat this dreaded infestation among youth.
