PHILIPPINES

Our native team on the island of Cebu have been making a difference in the lives of those affected by extreme poverty for over 10 years. Our work of reaching orphans, destitute children and at-risk widows in the Philippines is being sustained and multiplied by a hen house project.



Opportunities to help:
[ Sponsor new chicks + starter feed at the hen house ]

ORPHAN CARE. As we reach an average of 400 children monthly through our children's outreach program, we've encountered orphan girls who are victims of child labor or slavery situations. In response to this tragic realization, our native team has provided refuge for a handful of these girls through a girl's home orphanage. This effort to rescue orphan girls from tragic circumstances has been made possible by a combination of orphan sponsorships and the success of our native team's hen house. For other orphans we've encountered who are living with relatives, we're also offering education supplies and scholarships.

WIDOW'S CRAFT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. Widows on the island are especially at risk in an area already plagued by extreme poverty. However, through our widow's business development program we're offering hope for some of the most vulnerable of the population. For just $90, we can train and equip a widow to start her own craft business. This includes all supplies and tools required to begin a profitable business. Because we're assisting in connecting the widows directly to buyers as if they were the factory, they enjoy "fair trade" or "direct trade" types of profits. Thus their income potential is much greater than that of a wage earner. Some of our graduates are already earning $150/month in net profits, a very strong income for this part of the world.

CHILDREN'S OUTREACH. Mobilizing their humble congregation of about 50 members to take action, our native team has been focusing much of their energy on reaching impoverished children of the island. Primarily this has been done through the medium of weekend day-camps where they serve hot meals, teach hygiene principles, and engage children in games & activities in a Vacation Bible School format.
