Expanding Opportunities in the Philippines
The construction of a second floor of the Pinagpala Children’s Center has helped an entire community
The city of Tagaytay, where the Pinagpala Children’s Center is located, is on the island of Luzon, where many Filipino families suffer from extreme poverty. To help support the community, in 2000, members of a local church there established the Pinagpala – meaning “Blessed” – Children’s Center to provide educational assistance to local needy children and their families.

Sponsorship funds help promote literacy in Mitchell County, North Carolina
Mitchell County, nestled in the rugged western mountains of North Carolina, serves as a tourist destination for thousands who flock to the region each year to glimpse its spectacular vistas. The area’s breathtaking beauty and rich culture, however, belie a tragic truth: in this smallest and least populous county of all of North Carolina reside some of the nation’s poorest families. We are incredibly proud that our sponsorship program not only provides weather-appropriate school clothing […]
Excited About What the World Has to Offer
A child writes a special letter to his sponsor upon graduating from high school
One of our favorite aspects of what we do at Children Incorporated is pairing special individual sponsors with children to create lasting relationships, where each benefits from the other – the sponsor from knowing that they are helping a child in need, and the child from knowing that someone cares about them and their well-being, and is willing to support them so that they may obtain an education. “I want to thank you for helping […]

Hope After Haiyan
Our Hope In Action Fund helped families in the Philippines after a devastating typhoon
The Philippines comprise a vast island nation in Southeast Asia. This archipelago of more than 7,000 islands boasts sandy beaches, towering mountains and volcanoes, tropical rainforests, and an incredible wealth of natural resources and biodiversity.

Despite its status as an emerging market, however, nearly half of all Filipinos still […]
A Quality Education for Children in Bolivia
Not only is it critical that children attend school, but also that institutions are adequate
The small landlocked nation of Bolivia comprises the rugged Andes Mountains and vast high-altitude plateaus to the west, including a portion of Lake Titicaca – the largest high-altitude lake in the world. To the east are the lush lowland plains of the Amazon Jungle. Despite its wealth of natural beauty and resources, Bolivia bears the scars of centuries of conflict, beginning with the Spanish conquistadors, and followed by almost 200 years of wars and internal […]
