Task and Objectives:

  • To champion the well-being of abandoned, neglected, and exploited children, we’ve created a sanctuary at the CHILDREN’S HAVEN—a nurturing home for these resilient souls.

  • Building Capacity: Our commitment extends beyond our walls. We offer capacity-building, training, and consultancy services to organizations involved in social welfare and development programs. By disseminating information and enhancing practices, we aim to elevate the quality of service delivery within local government units, NGOs, and POs.
  • Open Arms for Support: We embrace donations—both local and foreign—in various forms, from essential supplies like appliances, machinery, footwear, and clothing to vital provisions like food and medicine. These contributions directly benefit the children under our care, referred by local government entities, DSWD, and other agencies.
