What Childhope Philippines Foundation, Inc. does

Childhope Philippines Foundation, Inc. is a registered non-government organization (NGO) and non-profit corporation headquartered in Sta. Cruz, Manila, that provides integrated social services to street children across 15 areas in 6 cities of Metro Manila. Established as a regional office in 1989 and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission in 1995 (under the name Childhope Asia Philippines, Inc., renamed in 2013), the organization has operated continuously for over 36 years. Its flagship Street Education and Protection (STEP) Program integrates four service components: KalyEskwela (mobile street education via vans equipped with audiovisual materials, operating under DepEd's Alternative Learning System), KliniKalye (mobile health clinic providing primary preventive medical care), Psychosocial Interventions (counseling and social work), and Skills Development. Supporting programs include Kalyenderia (mobile soup kitchen launched in 2021), Project Bamboo (livelihood training in partnership with ACC21), and the WNS Mobile Library (literacy initiative with WNS Cares Foundation).

The organization's core technology is its mobile, street-based service delivery model, built around equipped vans and a Caring-Healing-Teaching framework that brings education, healthcare, nutrition, and psychosocial support directly to children where they live and work—removing barriers of distance, documentation, and cost. Approximately 30+ staff members, including licensed professional teachers, registered social workers, and specialized street educators, execute this model. The organization also operates a CommuniTeaching model that engages parents, local leaders, volunteers, and community members as an extended learning ecosystem.

Childhope operates entirely on donations and grants with no fees charged to beneficiaries. Revenue streams include individual donations (via BPI, BDO, GCash, Maya, PayPal, and PayMongo), corporate and foundation grants (e.g., WNS Cares Foundation), third-party platform fundraising (GlobalGiving, SimplyGiving, BayaniPay, Shopee), and in-kind contributions. The organization is accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC), and is governed by an independent Board of Trustees. Leadership includes Founder and President Emeritus Ms. Teresita Silva, Chairman Dr. Jamie Galvez-Tan, President Mr. Sherwin O, and Executive Director Mylene Lagman. In 2026, the organization formally transitioned from its 'Kaugmaon 2025' plan to 'Tatag 2026', signaling a strategic shift toward organizational resilience and long-term sustainability.
