Adding New Affiliated Sites in the Philippines

In early 2022, we began working with two additional sites in the Philippines — and hundreds of children will benefit

It is always exciting to hear from our volunteer coordinators that they are able to expand our sponsorship program within their regions because it means that more children in need will benefit from having a loving sponsor.

When young ladies don’t have access to sanitary napkins, they often skip school to stay home which can be detrimental to their education. Throughout the 2021 year, we focused on providing supplies of […]
