WHO WE ARE

About PagasaKids

OUR VISION

A World Where No Filipino Child Goes Without

A world where no child goes hungry — not for food, education, shelter, medical care, or the opportunity to reach their full potential.

PagasaKids was founded after Typhoon Mangkhut devastated Northern Luzon in 2018. Our founders saw children sleeping in evacuation centers with nothing. They couldn't look away.

What started as a group of friends packing relief goods has grown into a registered non-profit with full-time staff, volunteers across 18 provinces, and ongoing care for hundreds of children.

Disaster Relief for Children

The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone nations on Earth — an average of 20 typhoons cross the country every year. When they hit, children are always the most vulnerable.

  • Emergency shelter kits and temporary housing
  • Hot meals, food packs, clean water & hygiene supplies
  • Child-friendly spaces & psychosocial support
  • Temporary schooling so education doesn't stop
  • Medical assistance and health check-ups
1,200+ children supported across 47 disaster events

CHILD CARE PROGRAM

For Children Left Behind

Thousands of Filipino children are abandoned each year — left in hospitals, on streets, or in overcrowded facilities. Often because their parents face extreme poverty or crisis. These children are not unloved. They are unseen.

We see them. And we refuse to leave them behind.

  • Family-style care homes with house parents
  • Education sponsorships from nursery to college
  • Physical and mental health services
  • Family reunification where safe and possible
  • Arts, sports & life-skills programs
1,200+ children in ongoing care and 340+ scholarships granted

Feeding program

HUNGER RELIEF PROGRAM

We Serve Hundreds of Meals Every Day

In the communities we serve, most children rely on our feeding program as their primary — and sometimes only — meal of the day. A warm, balanced meal makes the difference between a child who can focus at school and one who cannot.

  • Daily hot meals in partner communities
  • Balanced nutrition: rice, protein, vegetables, fruit
  • Nutrition education for parents and children
  • Partnerships with food companies for donated supplies
Sponsor a full day of feeding for 600+ children for just $400.
For less than $1, you may save a life.

Maria's Story

DISASTER RELIEF · LEYTE
"Typhoon Odette took our house. Mama cried for days. Then Pagasa came. They gave us food and a place to sleep. My teacher said I am the best reader in class now. I want to be a doctor."

Maria and her family were found sheltering under a damaged roof three days after the typhoon. PagasaKids provided emergency food, relocated them to temporary shelter, and enrolled Maria in a nearby school. She now attends daily and receives weekly check-ins from our social workers.

Ramon's Story

ABANDONED CHILD · METRO MANILA
"I used to share a room with 30 other kids. Now I have house parents. They tuck me in. I didn't know what that felt like."

Ramon was found in a public hospital at 3 days old. He spent his early years in an overcrowded government facility. PagasaKids placed him in a family-style care home where he now has house parents, siblings, and a school he loves. He plays guitar and wants to perform at his school program this December.

Ana's Story

DISASTER RELIEF · MINDANAO
"I almost stopped school. I thought my dream was over. PagasaKids told me my dream was just beginning."

A flash flood in Davao del Sur took both of Ana's parents in one night. Facing dropout, PagasaKids provided a full scholarship, a foster family in her own community, and psychosocial counselling. She recently won a regional science competition and has been accepted into an engineering track.
