What ChildFund Philippines does

ChildFund Philippines Foundation, Inc. is a Philippine-registered non-sectarian, non-profit NGO and a program office of ChildFund International, founded in the 1970s and headquartered at the Strata 100 Building in Pasig City. The organization serves more than 500,000 children, youth, and families across 21-23 provinces, 54 municipalities, 15 cities, and 528 barangays through a partner-leveraged delivery model built on 11 local implementing organizations. Its programmatic portfolio spans early childhood development (ENHANCE, Supervised Neighborhood Play), education (ExSELLEnT SEL framework, Project ACHIEVE using Moodle LMS for inclusive education), child protection (EPW, Web Safe and Wise, Project Protect CAYO), youth skills and leadership (ECRS, CYDRM), health (RISE-REP immunization in BARMM), and child labor prevention (BuildCA2P, Project SPEAK). A flagship 2026 target is to reach 5 million children and family members annually — roughly a 10x increase over current reach.

The organization's technology stack is modest but functional: a Moodle-based digital learning management system with accessibility features for children with hearing and visual impairments, smartphone-based child protection monitoring systems deployed across 170 trained volunteers, and online safety platforms built around the Web Safe and Wise campaign. Underlying revenue streams include individual donations and child sponsorship (recurring monthly model), corporate partnerships (EXL Philippines, Generali, TikTok Asia Pacific), and institutional grants from the U.S. Department of Labor, European Union Commission, KOICA, UNICEF, and Gavi. The organization maintains active DSWD registration, license to operate, and solicitation permits, and holds 2025 Philippine Council for NGO Certification accreditation. Governance rests with a Board of Trustees chaired by Dr. Grace H. Aguiling-Dalisay, with Anand Vishwakarma as President and CEO.

Core offering

ChildFund Philippines is a nonprofit foundation that implements community-based child welfare and development programs for Filipino children, youth, and families across 21+ provinces. Its offerings span early childhood development, social and emotional learning, inclusive and indigenous education, child protection and online safety, child labor prevention, disaster risk reduction, and immunization delivery, delivered through 11 local partner organizations and funded via individual sponsorships, corporate partnerships, and government/institutional grants.

Product overview

These are supplemented by specialized projects such as Project ACHIEVE (inclusive education via Moodle app), BOAT School (indigenous children's education), Project SPEAK (child labor prevention), Project Protect CAYO (online safety), and campaigns including Web Safe and Wise and #ShutdownOSEC. The organization also supports STEM education through robotics partnerships.
