Message from the

ChairpersonOnce in a while, we get the opportunity to experience moments that inspire and challenge us to dream bigger and do better. For World Vision founder Rev. Bob Pierce, it was when he met a child named White Jade, who moved him to begin the Child Sponsorship Program.

A similar opportunity came when I visited a World Vision area programme in Malabon. I met Christina, whose family subsists from the hazardous charcoal-making business. Unfazed by hardship and poverty, Christina strives to be an achiever in school as she aspires to be a tourism manager one day.

I believe World Vision’s ministry for children is all about creating such moments not only for the children and families we work with, but also for the people who have partnered and worked alongside us. Together, we create and build opportunities to make a better world for children. That is the essence when we claim that we are #OneForChildren.

From 2016 to 2018, World Vision has reached more than 2.9 million children through our advocacy work, technical programs, sponsorship, and emergency response initiatives in the Philippines. This may seem like a simple statistic on paper, but in reality it translates to millions of children who are now closer to living life in all its fullness.

By being one with like-minded organizations, local government units, community leaders, and donors, we are able to empower children to use their own voice to speak about child-related issues, to inspire and learn from children like themselves, and to challenge their communities to take action. For instance, activities like the National Consultation with Children and Youth on Disaster Risk Reduction and the National Children’s Solutions Summit on Combating Online Sexual Exploitation of Children allowed child leaders from across the country to confidently craft child-led solutions and recommendations addressing disaster risk reduction and online sexual exploitation of children.

In the following pages, you will encounter stories about children – as also told by children themselves. As you read through the pages, I hope you will also find inspiration, just as I did when I met Christina and her family. As you browse through this report, may the joy of experiencing God’s love and hope speak to you and bless you in boundless ways.

Message from the

Executive DirectorLet me begin by saying thank you, especially to our partners and donors, for another year of successful collaborations for the benefit of children. Your steadfast support helped us serve thousands of Filipino children, especially those living in vulnerable and hard-to-reach areas in the country.

From 2016 to 2018, we proudly made a difference in the lives of 2.9 million Filipino children through our child-focused and community-based programs and advocacy initiatives. With your help, we are now inch-closer to our goal of reaching 3 million children by 2020. Praise be to our amazing God!

As a testament of our commitment to serve and work alongside children, families, and communities, World Vision faithfully carried on programs and trainings to effectively equip families with practical and sustainable life skills. Some of these include giving literacy support, strengthening child protection mechanisms, providing nutrition counseling, conducting financial management trainings, and teaching disaster risk preparedness measures. We have also seen much improvement in the lives of people recovering from major emergency responses like the Typhoon Mangkhut response, the Marawi response, and the Mayon Volcano response.

Part of our commitment also entailed looking into emerging advocacy issues like the prevalence of Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC), and the continuing challenge to improve the quality of health and literacy among children and the youth. Truly, it takes a world to

end OSEC, and we believe that by building partnerships for children, integrated with championing digital innovation for education, we will have a better chance of protecting them against all types of harm. Our goal for education is to help children have increased learning outcomes by ensuring that they complete formal and non-formal learning programs, and that community mechanisms effectively support their development. For health and nutrition, we want to help children become well-nourished by providing households access to adequate nutritious food, and supporting improved child care, sanitation, and hygiene practices. Moving forward, World Vision shifts its gear towards implementing new and robust approaches that will best adapt to the changing landscape and trends in alleviating poverty and injustice concerning children.

We hope that you continue to support us in this journey to help more communities and children to live full and better lives. With God’s provision and divine guidance, we can Get There, Together! We are, indeed, #OneForChildren.

Thank you very much!

HISTORYIn 1947, American missionary Dr. Robert “Bob” William Pierce travelled to China and Korea to document the massive suffering caused by the war. An encounter with a child named White Jade, a battered child, became a turning point. Moved by compassion, Pierce offered his last five dollars and pledged to send the same amount every month to provide for White Jade’s needs. Pierce knew in his heart that there were many other children like White Jade who needed help. This gave birth to Pierce’s idea of Child Sponsorship as a way of helping thousands of children in the long term.

Inspired by his prayer, “Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God,” Dr. Pierce eventually led the founding of the child-focused agency World Vision in 1950, with Child Sponsorship as its flagship program to respond to the thousands of orphans left by the Korean War.

Through the years, World Vision expanded its work for children all over Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

World Vision’s work began in the Philippines through its initial assistance to 300 children in the Good Shepherd’s Fold, an

orphanage in the island province of Guimaras. Members gave musical instruments and textbooks for children. Alongside this, Olga Roberston or “Mommy Olga,” with the help of Bob Pierce, started a prison ministry in the New Bilibid Prison in Manila. Olga was a young missionary supported by World Vision who regularly visited local prisons to share God’s hope to the prisoners. Three years later, World Vision established the Mercyville Orphanage in South Cotabato.

World Vision saw its efforts in providing food relief and health interventions to children caught in the conflict in Mindanao. The support included resettlement and development projects.

A new branch in Cebu assisted over 100 families in the Visayas and Mindanao.

World Vision launched the Development Assisting Center (DAC), a community-based approach that aimed to empower poor families by helping them manage their own development. Interventions and strategies were based on the actual needs of the community.

Major reorganization was instituted involving transfer of central coordination to the World Vision Asia-Regional Office and testing a partnership relationship with Economic Development Foundation and Philippine Christian Ministry. But the work on the ground continued with volunteer staff assisting in community projects and programs. Projects were supervised by World Vision International – Asia Region Office (ARO) in Manila under the leadership of ARO Regional Coordinator, Ruth Clay.

World Vision re-opened in 1989 with former Development Training Coordinator Elnora Avarientos as its first Filipino Executive Director.

The Provincial Development Approach (PDA) was piloted in the province of Cebu focusing on networking, capacity building, and partnerships with stakeholders, and envisioned to create impact at the provincial level.

World Vision Development Foundation, Inc. (WVDF) was registered as a local NGO. Provision of affordable land and housing for the poor as a ministry thrust was adopted. First of these undertakings was the provision of a settlement site for the Aetas and the construction of the Community Resource Center in Cavite.

Over the years, World Vision continued to grow and build upon its progress and strategies. It served communities through relief operations including Ketsana, Megi, and Haiyan,

responding within 24 to 72 hours after the disaster or as soon as it was safe to do field assessments. In the past ten years, the organization implemented several development projects responding to the needs of the communities including the Kusog Baga (Healthy Lungs) program and the Social Mobilisation on Tuberculosis (SMT) Project, which in partnership with the Department of Health, increased awareness on TB while helping TB patients in recovery.

World Vision’s strong relationship with partners helped implement education-related programs and interventions. The Tulong Aral Project (TAP), in partnership with Petron Foundation, aimed to provide basic school needs of children in both rural and urban areas of the country.

With over 12 years of experience in managing grants and special projects, World Vision delivered one of the biggest projects funded by the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) in partnership with like-minded organizations: the Pag-aaral ng Bata para sa Kinabukasan Project or the ABK1, ABK2 - ABK Teach Now, and ABK3 LEAP Project, which assisted more than 54,000 children engaged in and at high risk of child labor.

Following its 60th year of ministry in 2017, World Vision remains committed to serve the most vulnerable children and communities. Moving forward, the organization sharply focused on strengthening its holistic programs and initiatives on health and nutrition, education, and spiritual nurture for children.

World Vision continues to engage with various sectors including the national and local government, the business community through corporate social responsibility and social entrepreneurship, the academe, churches, civil society, the media, and other like-minded individuals and groups committed to improve the well-being of children and building the nation, one child, one community at a time.

Education is the key to a brighter future. The children we serve aspire to finish their studies, but poverty and lack of resources often hinder them from doing so. World Vision works closely with children, families, community members, the local and national government, and private partners to provide better facilities and programs that would allow children to have better access to education.

Through collaborative efforts with the Department of Education (DepEd), the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and other partner organizations and local government units, World Vision’s education interventions were able to directly reach 55,226 children in 2018.

World Vision believes that children can excel in their studies and extracurricular activities when they receive ample support and encouragement from their families, schools, and communities. This is why we organize after-school literacy activities to further enhance children’s basic reading, writing, and numerical skills and complement their lessons in school. Currently, there are 15,231 children who actively take part in these activities.

Furthermore, we work with teachers, parents, and guardians so they are fully involved in children’s literacy development. This year, World Vision trained 3,606 parents and caregivers on literacy support and 2,291 day care and elementary school teachers on learner-centered approaches.

Educating Children for Life

THE JOY OF LEARNING

For best friends and class topnotchers Kent, Cyrus, and Christian, moving up day is an opportunity to make their parents proud. “Father is always tired from driving big trucks but I never heard him say no whenever I need

something for school. When I grow up and become an engineer, I’ll make sure he gets the rest he needs. For now, I want to make him and mama smile by being the top student in class,” says Kent.

Aside from their families, Kent, Cyrus and Christian draw inspiration from their sponsors. In 2015, World Vision started working in their community in Bukidnon, primarily to help empower families to provide for their children and eventually combat child labor. Through generous sponsors,

World Vision started to implement programs on health and nutrition, education and economic development, catering to at least 4,000 families in four barangays. In the months that followed, Kent, Cyrus and Christian each had their own sponsors.

While they are still years from becoming successful engineers, the boys are determined to never lose sight of their goal not only for themselves but more importantly, for the people who, despite all the challenges, allow them to get closer to their dreams.

“I’m happy I get to make my parents happy by being a good student. I hope my sponsor is also happy,” ends Christian.

Part of World Vision’s goal is to help children live life to the fullest by ensuring that they are protected from any form of harm and abuse. In line with our commitment to end violence against children, World Vision directly assisted 375 child abuse cases in 2018.

World Vision’s child protection initiatives for the past year focused on equipping 1,067 individuals from partner organizations to Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC) trainings. This allowed community members and partner stakeholders map child protection issues and interventions in order to provide timely and appropriate response to identified child abuse cases. In 2018, we successfully helped 15,676 children complete their trainings in values-based life skills development activities.

Protecting Childrenfrom Harm

THE JOY OF NEW BEGINNINGS

The Teaching Health and Resilience to Children through Inclusive Values and Empowerment (THRIVE) project is a World Vision initiative that aims to help children to respond and recover from abuse, neglect, violence, and exploitation. The project is implemented across Cagayan De Oro, Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental where World Vision has been doing development work for 16 years.

Susan and Jane (not their real names) were exposed to the sex industry when they were 11. Through the help of volunteers, the girls were ushered to World Vision’s drop-in shelter partner where they went through psychosocial interventions and were referred to health experts.

Connie Quebada, World Vision’s project manager for the THRIVE project, explained, “While we are making significant progress in helping children like Susan and Jane, we cannot yet fully say that they are healed. It is still a lot of work, but making them feel that they have people to turn to, people that they can trust with their stories, makes a big difference.”

Today, Susan and Jane are back to school through the Department of Education’s alternative learning system (ALS). They are still living in a shelter. Although still struggling, they are hopeful that a better future awaits them. Susan dreams of working abroad while Jane wants to be a cop in the future. Both girls hope that more children in the streets will be given the chance that they now have.

It Takes a WorldWorld Vision’s “It Takes a World” campaign is a global movement that aims to protect 3 million children from harm and abuse by 2020. In the Philippines, we put our focus on online sexual exploitation (OSEC), a grave issue that threatens the future of the most vulnerable children in the country.

On July 2018, World Vision signed a partnership with Compassion International Philippines (CIPH), and International Justice Mission (IJM) to strengthen the campaign against online sexual exploitation of children. Through this collaboration, we hope to prevent online sexual exploitation of children by supporting local and national efforts in combatting OSEC, raising awareness about the issue, and gathering and providing support to survivors.

Child Protection CompactWorld Vision is pleased to partner with the International Justice Mission and the Philippine government in the implementation of the Child Protection Compact (CPC), an agreement signed by both the Philippine government and the United States government. Under this project, we aim to address the problems involved in the trafficking of Filipino children for sex and labor. To prevent OSEC and Child Labor Trafficking (CLT), World Vision will help strengthen existing community-based systems and services meant for the protection and recovery of children affected by OSEC and CLT. We will also work closely with LGUs, parents, faith-based organizations, civil society workers, and children to ensure that they are aware of the issue and are capable to protect and prevent OSEC and CLT cases.

Lack of access to health services and proper nutrition prevent children from reaching their full potential. To keep children from diseases and malnutrition, World Vision initiate projects to ensure families eat nutritious food, have access to clean water, enjoy quality health services, and are well-informed about infectious diseases like TB, HIV, and AIDS.

World Vision’s health initiatives start from conception, where we educate pregnant and lactating mothers about proper infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. This year, 9,979 pregnant women and lactating mothers with children zero to 23 months were trained on IYCF. We also reached out to 894 community health workers, volunteers, and peer educators so they can conduct IYCF trainings in their communities.

To address malnutrition, World Vision continues to teach parents and caregivers proper and practical feeding, health, and hygiene practices. In the past year, we successfully rehabilitated 730 children through the Positive Deviance/Hearth approach, locally known as Pinoy Nutrition Hub (PNH).

Through the Channels of Hope (COH) program, we worked with schools, local government units, and faith-based organizations to provide children and youth aged 12 to 17 with relevant information about HIV and AIDS. Likewise, we continue to mobilize TB task forces that can identify cases of tuberculosis in their communities and help patients receive appropriate treatment.

First 1,000 DaysWorld Vision and the Crowd-Based Monitoring of Milk Code Compliance (CMMCC) project join breastfeeding advocates in lauding the Congress for the passage and enactment of Republic Act 11148 or the “Kalusugan at Nutrisyon ng Mag-Nanay Act.” The law aims to provide health and nutrition services to children in the first 1,000 days of their lives, which is considered the “window of opportunity” that can determine the child’s lifelong health. During this stage, it is crucial to ensure that infants receive only breastmilk from their mothers for at least six months, and are given proper complementary food with continuous breastfeeding up to 2 years and beyond.

Keeping Children Healthy

THE JOY OF GOOD HEALTH

Anabelle would spend an average of P250 per day to support her children’s medical needs. It worried her and her husband especially when Jomar, their eldest son, was about to enter pre-school.

To help her children be healthier, she enrolled her sons to World Vision’s Pinoy Nutrition Hub (PNH), a nutrition-focused program that aims to rehabilitate malnourished children in their own homes. During the 12-day workshop, Anabelle learned how to prepare balanced meals to ensure sustainability of feeding even after the end of the sessions.

“Cooking nutritious meals is new to me but I am committed to learn and apply it in our home for my children,” Anabelle expressed. “A healthy body is the least that I can provide to them.”

Families enrolled in PNH also received vegetable seedlings. They used it to grow a garden in their backyard where they can source fresh vegetables and crops. Anabelle’s vegetable garden is an indication that nutrition feeding is being sustained after the PNH sessions.

When families have sustainable sources of income, they gain the capability to support the most basic needs of their children. World Vision’s BEStApproTech (Building Entrepreneurial Skills through Appropriate Technology) approach is an economic development intervention that equips parents and guardians with necessary knowledge, skills, and livelihood opportunities so they can provide for their families and build sustainable communities for the next generation.

To help the poorest of the poor families in the areas we serve, World Vision distributed agricultural inputs and assets like rice, corn, vegetable seeds, basic garden tools and small animals (poultry and piglets) as well as provision of technical training on Organic Agriculture in partnership with local government units (LGUs). As part of our Local Value Chain Development (LVCD) program, we also conducted entrepreneurial trainings to 2,383 community members, and helped 2,630 households establish group and individual small businesses capacitated to access and operate in the marketplace.

Aside from agricultural and entrepreneurial support, World Vision offers trainings that would help community members enhance their financial literacy and financial management. For instance, our Community-Managed Savings and Credit Association (CoMSCA) program continues to benefit more than 61,655 members through savings generation and loan availment.

Building Sustainable Communities

THE JOY OF SELF-RELIANCE

Despite numerous challenges, Edmar and his family found hope when he became a sponsored child. Edmar not only received school supplies, his parents also benefited from livelihood trainings, which helped build their income. Through World Vision, Edmar’s mom received a livelihood starter kit and learned how to make puto, a steamed rice cake served for snacks.

“My favorite part of being a sponsored child is joining several trainings that empowered me to think, speak, and mingle with different people,” Edmar shares. “I still use the skills I got from these trainings to grow my small business.”

Respondingto Disasters

World Vision believes that children deserve to live in safe and disaster-resilient communities where they can play, grow and thrive. To help achieve this, we encourage children, families, schools, and communities to proactively get involved in activities that will make their communities prepared for disasters and emergencies. In 2018, World Vision trained 16,810 community members, including children, on disaster risk preparedness measures, and 14,463 community members, including children, on disaster prevention and mitigation. Our disaster risk reduction initiatives reached a total of 189,099 children in the past year.

When disasters strike and impending humanitarian needs arise, World Vision is also prepared to respond and provide immediate life-saving essentials. World Vision prepositioned hygiene kits, and shelter and non-food items to facilitate quick response to affected areas.

Mayon Volcano ResponseMore than 21,000 families or 83,000 individuals were forced to flee to evacuation centers after Mayon Volcano discharged ash and lava on January 2018. To complement the government-led response, World Vision distributed hygiene kits, non-food items, facemasks, and drinking water to 2,000 families or 10,328 individuals in Albay.

Typhoon Mangkhut ResponseLocally known as “Ompong,” Typhoon Mangkhut struck Northern Philippines on September 2018, affecting more than 3 million individuals and damaging more than 210,000 households. With the help of donors and partners, World Vision provided relief assistance to 4,082 families or 20,455 individuals in Cagayan and Benguet. We also set up child-friendly spaces to give psychosocial support to children whose

THE JOY OF BEING HEARDTo help communities be better prepared in any disaster, World Vision provides platforms where children and the youth can be actively involved in issues and conversations about disaster-risk reduction. Angela, a Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) councilor from Quezon City, is one of the 57 children who participated in the National Consultation with Children and Youth on Disaster Risk Reduction from May 31 to June 1, 2018. The consultation encouraged children to discuss the important role of Filipino youth in mitigating disasters and promoting resilience. “I feel very proud and empowered because children and youth were able to show how massive our potential is to be contributors to greater causes such as Disaster Risk Reduction,” Angela shared. “We are finally speaking our voices and we’re finally gaining more trust from the government.”

lives and education were disrupted by the disaster. Now on its recovery phase, World Vision’s Typhoon Mangkhut response aims to help families bounce back from their losses through agricultural recovery assistance.

Marawi RehabilitationOne year after the Marawi conflict displaced more than 350,000 individuals, World Vision continues to support community rehabilitation through its Cash-for-Work program. Marawi’s early recovery and rehabilitation phase allowed more than 3,000 families to join community clean ups, road clearings, and gardening activities, and earn cash in return. In 2018, we also launched the Marawi Peace and Protection Project in support of DepEd’s Back-to-School and Stay-in-School (BTS/SIS) strategy for Marawi children.

PROMOTING

SPIRITUALNURTURE FOR

FILIPINOCHILDREN

World Vision’s Spiritual Nurture for Filipino Children (SNFC) is a five-year project that is geared towards promoting spiritual nurture and positive values among children and youth by engaging them and their families in interactive workshops.

One of the project’s initiatives is “Celebrating Families,” a training that aims to build strong foundations within families and nurture the participants’ spiritual journey. In 2018, we partnered with the Philippine Children’s Ministries Network to conduct “Celebrating Families” trainings for pastors, faith leaders, social workers and community servants representing different networks. In 2018, 805 parents and caregivers successfully completed the required trainings on responsible parenthood and spiritual nurture for children. A total of 21,667 children also participated in SNC activities in our supported communities.

THE JOY OF HEALING

Children are the most affected when their concept of family falls apart. With a strong support system of friends, teachers, relatives and the community, children are able to cope. It is with this premise that World Vision continues to partner with more schools and church groups to reach more children for spiritual nurture.

Carls admitted that she stopped going to church and studying hard after issues began affecting her family. Through an activity organized by World Vision’s SNFC, she eventually found the opportunity to be healed.

“During the workshop, I shared my family background and my personal struggles to my fellow participants. They listened to me and helped me understand my situation better. They also shared their own personal stories which somehow comforted me knowing that there are people who understand my struggles,” Carls shared.

She continued attending other World Vision activities such as peace building and self-awareness workshops. It helped her recover and restore her relationship with her family members. She also reached out to her siblings and shared her experiences to them.

Carls’ story, along with the stories of thousands more who participate in spiritual nurture activities, is a manifestation of World Vision’s transformational development work in the communities.

National Consultation with Children and Youth on Disaster Risk Reduction

Co-organized with UNICEF, the National Consultation with Children Youth on Disaster Risk Reduction gathered 57 children from different parts of the Philippines to discuss the role of the Filipino youth in mitigating disaster risks and promoting disaster resilience.

During the two-day event, the participants produced the “Consolidated Statement of Children and Youth on their Contributions and Recommendations on DRRM” in response to the progress and content of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. After the consultation, the children’s outputs were brought to the 8th Asian Ministerial Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and formed part of the “Children and Youth Stakeholder Action Statement.” This statement signified and acknowledged the contributions of children and youth in monitoring the implementation of the Sendai Framework, a global agreement to improve Disaster Risk Reduction by 2030.

CHILD PARTICIPATIONAs a child-focused organization, World Vision believes that it is necessary for children and the youth to be engaged in confronting issues that concern their welfare. This is why we create and facilitate platforms that encourage meaningful participation of children in decision-making and influencing policies and programs that affect their communities. By letting children participate in conversations relevant to their well-being, they not only gain knowledge, skills and confidence to talk about children and community-related matters, but are also able to voice-out their opinion, influence key decisions, and exercise their right to participate.

ENGAGING THE PUBLIC

National Children’s Solution Summit on Combating Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC)In October 2018, World Vision joined forces with some of the biggest child-focused agencies in the Philippines to hold the National Children’s Solution Summit in Cebu. The summit engaged at least 100 child and youth representatives from World Vision, Terre des Hommes, Plan International, Save the Children, ChildFund Alliance, and SOS Children’s Villages. Motivated to come up with child-led solutions to address online sexual exploitation and abuse, the summit participants drafted and signed an #EndOSEC manifesto that contained recommendations and proposals in response to the issue.

FY20-24 Country Strategy Children’s

ConsultationsWorld Vision field offices in Luzon, Visayas,

and Mindanao conducted consultations with children to know their views and opinion on issues such as undernutrition and poor learning outcomes. The consultations also gave children the chance to voice their thoughts and expectations from key

stakeholders in their communities.

Sponsors and Ambassadors

#OneForChildren. World Vision Ambassadors Marc Nelson, Bianca Umali, and Joyce Pring personally went to Albay, Marawi, and Batangas respectively to meet some of the children and families assisted by World Vision through its disaster risk reduction and child sponsorship programs.

On July 2018, World Vision launched Project SENSE (Sustained Nutrition through Social Enterprise), an initiative that aims to curb malnutrition by helping families plant organic vegetables and fruits in their gardens and by providing healthy and nutritious food to children in Batangas.

The project was made possible by a fundraising run led by Enrico Menichetti and Victor Consunji, who pledged to finish the Marathon Des Sables, also known as the “toughest foot race on earth.” The fundraiser’s success would not be possible without family members, friends, and supporters who rallied behind the cause. While the runners raced across the Moroccan Sahara, generous givers headed to Menichetti and Consunji’s fundraising page to donate and help the duo reach their target. Many individuals showed their support by donating online and sending words of encouragement.

Menichetti and Consunji’s donation was also used to provide school supplies for students in Malabon, water facilities in West Misamis, and a new water system in Bohol.

Enrico Menichetti and Victor Consunji go the extra mile for children

World Vision is honored to work with dedicated actors, musicians, and influencers who generously lend their time and talents to spread awareness about World Vision’s work for children. In 2018, more than 20 celebrities joined World Vision in events and initiatives targeted to inspire the public to make a difference by helping more children in the country.

Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Marc Nelson, Miriam Quiambao, Sam Concepcion, Tippy dos Santos, Gretchen Ho, Joyce Pring, Inigo Pascual, Bianca Umali, Quest, Camille Prats, Suzi Abrera, Miguel Tanfelix, CJ Hirro, Erika Padilla, Gelli Victor, Jesse and Christian Perkins, Dane Hipolito, Francis Lim, Avelyn and Vic Garcia, Matteo Guidicelli, Gloc-9, Kim Atienza, Christine Babao, Christian Bautista, Jed Madela and Ogie Alcasid are ambassadors of World Vision.

CORPORATEPARTNERSHIPS

ING LEARNING CENTERING Foundation, Inc. continues to partner with World Vision to help hundreds of children in BASECO, Manila gain better access to quality education. Through the ING Learning Center (ILC), children were provided learning support for their comprehension and numerical skills and values formation. At present, the ILC serves 150 students and 18 child leaders including 10 who became scholars of ING. ING and World Vision hope to expand the ING Learning Center ministry to train more children in the future.

TULONG ARAL PROJECTTulong Aral Project (TAP) is an education program that addresses poverty, high dropout rates and poor academic performance among elementary and high school students. This initiative is part of Petron Foundation’s principal social agenda called Fuel H.O.P.E. (Helping Filipino children and youth Overcome Poverty through Education). Around 800 children received education support in school year 2018.

AUTO MECHANIC TRAINING CENTER

The Auto Mechanic Training Center (AMTraC) is an auto servicing training program. It is jointly managed by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Isuzu Motors, Ltd. (IML), and World Vision. Through the education-to-employment program, out-of-school youths in the Visayas are given opportunities to acquire auto servicing skills and stable livelihoods after graduation. To date, the program has produced more than 200 auto service technicians or mechanics.

THE JOY OF PAYING IT FORWARD

One hundred former and current students attended the ING Learning Center Alumni Homecoming event on May 2018. The activity was held to cultivate the relationship of alumni, teachers, and coordinators of ING Learning Center.

Cassandra, a daughter of a tricycle driver and a vendor, is one of the alumni of ING Learning Center who graduated from college this year. She said the support system she got from ING Learning Center helped her finish her studies. “As a student, I appreciate that they reach out to me whenever I’m experiencing trials in school and even in my personal life. They also give feedback about my school projects and activities.”

After earning her degree, Cassandra plans to get a stable job and help her family financially. She also aims to put up her own foundation in the future to help more disadvantaged youth. “I learned to be concerned not only for my own welfare but also for the welfare of the people around me,” she said.

MOTHER-BABY FRIENDLY PHILIPPINESAbout 2,000 mother and baby pairs and their companions witnessed the handover of the Mother-Baby Friendly Philippines (MBFP) reporting platform to the Department of Health during Hakab Na! 2018.

“Hakab Na” or the Big Latch On is an annual gathering of breastfeeding moms organized by Breastfeeding Pinays, one of the biggest breastfeeding advocate groups in the country. This year, World Vision partnered with Breastfeeding Pinays and the Department of Health for the said event in line with World Vision’s Crowd-Based Monitoring of Milk Code Compliance or Mother-Baby Friendly Philippines project.

Through MBFP, we intend to involve the public in monitoring possible non-compliance to breastfeeding-related laws. The project aims to drive every sector to share the responsibility of promoting, protecting, and supporting breastfeeding. To achieve this goal, MBFP conducts series of trainings and capacity-building activities to educate mothers, their caregivers and families, as well as the members of the health care system about the provisions of the laws. In addition to this, a reporting system that aims to monitor non-compliance to breastfeeding laws was developed.

The platform has been turned over to the Department of Health, but the quest towards achieving a mother-baby friendly Philippines remains a top priority for World Vision. The team will continue to hold advocacy activities in the communities. Information, education, and communication (IEC) materials shall be distributed to raise the public’s awareness about the laws and the reporting process.

EMPOWERMENT THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIPIn September 2018, World Vision officially launched the “Empowerment through Entrepreneurship” program in Dasmariñas, Cavite. Funded by Citi Foundation, “Empowerment through Entrepreneurship” hopes to inspire communities through a business incubation program geared to strengthen and grow the start-up businesses of 350 micro entrepreneurs. The participants come from six communities and are members of enterprise groups involved in various production, agriculture, and retail businesses. World Vision staff, barangay officials, members of the Barangay Children’s Association, Ebenezer Bag Making Producer group, and some out-of-school youth attended the program launch.

“Empowerment through Entrepreneurship” is a direct follow up to Citi Foundation’s “Aiding Vulnerable Families through Local Value Chain Development,” a program which provided capacity building trainings, access to savings and credit facilities, and technical assistance to improve the profitability and sustainability of their income generating activities. This time, the community will undergo rigorous mentoring and coaching on various topics to augment the previous training and improve overall operations.

In addition, 50 out-of- school youth will receive basic entrepreneurship trainings and exposure to economic development opportunities. The program launch formally welcomed the beneficiaries present, and outlined the different activities and target milestones for its 18-month duration.

PROFUTURO DIGITAL EDUCATION PROJECTProFuturo Foundation tapped World Vision in the Philippines to implement its Digital Education project. This initiative aims to reduce the educational gap for boys and girls through quality education and new technology, providing participating schools with digital education tools that can work online and offline.

For schools with necessary equipment and Internet connection, softwares that contain various learning resources for Literacy, Science, Technology and Math, including life skills, digital skills and communications will be provided and installed. In areas where there is no equipment or connectivity, the digital classroom in a suitcase will be deployed. The suitcase has a laptop for the teacher, tablets for the students and a router to set up network access, so that users are able to access resources offline.

To address the technological divide between students and teachers, the ProFuturo initiative will also invest in building the capacity of teachers who will be facilitating the digital classrooms. As more students and teachers expand their knowledge and skills through digital education, they will be encouraged and inspired to reach for their dreams. The ProFuturo project aims to provide digital access to 482 schools nationwide.
