Help us provide education for the most vulnerable indigenous children!
Thanks to our supporters, we provide access to non-religious education for hundreds of marginalized indigenous children in the Sulu and Celebes Seas, in the most remote island provinces of the Philippines.
Among the indigenous peoples there, the children of the Sama Dilaut (also known as the Sama-Badjao or Bajau-Laut) face exceptional challenges in accessing education.
Undocumented, poverty-stricken, and discriminated against, many Sama Dilaut children desperately need the specialized interventions that we offer. With your support, we will ensure that no child is left behind, regardless of where or who they are.
indigenous children in the autonumous region of Mindanao have no access to basic education.

With your support, we can bring that number down together!

Why focus on indigenous children?
Why focus on indigenous children?
Less than half of indigenous children have access to basic education in the autonomous region of Mindanao, alone.
Among those lucky enough to enroll, just 1 out of 10 will graduate from elementary education due to bullying, alienation and poverty.
Without education, these children are often condemned to the streets —begging, working for meager wages and missing out on their childhood.
Help us break this cycle!
