Everyone can help alleviate child poverty by donating to charities such as Childhope Philippines, Gawad Kalinga, Virlanie Foundation, Fairplay for All Foundation PH, Caritas Manila, and World Vision. You can also choose to donate to charities like Solar Hope Inc., ABS-CBN Foundation, and GMA Kapuso Foundation which cater to impoverished youth especially during calamities.
Contribute to providing universal access to education
If you are a passionate advocate that every child deserves quality education, you can donate to Shopee’s partners that cater to different youth sectors nationwide. Aral Pinoy focuses on making education accessible to Indigenous Peoples, Informal settlers, and other underserved communities while Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation provides boats so that children from remote areas can head to schools. You can also donate to organizations such as Teach for the Philippines, The Storytelling Project, AHA! Learning Center, and MovEd Foundation.
Push for safeguarding children’s health
To aid children in receiving quality healthcare access and medicines, you can choose to donate to Kapwa Ko Mahal Ko and the Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association of the Philippines (PHAP) Cares Foundation.
