Volunteer with the Street Children

By volunteering with street children, some of the Philippines' most under-served and underprivileged kids will be inspired, educated, and supported.

Seeing kids begging for food and sleeping on the sidewalk is not unusual in the Philippines. Some of these kids live at home, but instead of attending school, they spend their days on the street. Several have left home to flee from abusive treatment. Others have resorted to begging due to the lack of food. Some street children sniff solvent-based adhesive. Most kids go without food in a day; hence, the lack of proper nutrition. Many are also vulnerable to sexual exploitation and recruitment from street gangs.

Through volunteering, you can help improve the lives of these children. The placement could be in a shelter or rehabilitation facility arranged by the social welfare and development agency handling street children in Tacloban or Ormoc.
