Uplifting and empowering children through legal advocacy, education, and kapwa.
Uplift children and families in the Philippine welfare system experiencing abuse, neglect, exploitation, poverty, and family separation (OFWs) by providing legal advocacy, education, and cultivating community, belonging, and inclusivity.
Our core values follow the Philippine tradition of kapwa – community and belonging to the greater collective. Utang ng loob – responsibility for one another, and mahal — love rooted in the dignity of children’s humanity.
We achieve this by connecting youth with local KAPWA chapters who advocate on their behalf in the children’s court system, providing court reports and advocacy recommendations to the specialized Family Courts and to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for hearings, connecting youth with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), providing youth with education and literacy support, and cultivating belonging, inclusivity, and community within the Filipino community.
