With more than 1.5 million street children in the Philippines, these poor children are left to the streets as child laborers, beggars, pickpockets, and child prostitutes. As these numbers increase by the day, the cry for help has reached our ears. We ask that you help us be the hands that can change lives, provide hope and encourage a child to dream of a brighter day by providing them an education. Together we can open doors and free the children from the chains of poverty.
