Message from the
Chairperson
Once 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 andYouth 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
Director
Let 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!

HISTORY
In 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,WorldVision 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.

12. 12
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 Children
from 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 World
World 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 Compact
World 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.

13. 13
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 Days
World 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.

14. 14
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.”

15. 15
Responding
to 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 Response
More 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 Response
Locally 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 HEARD
To 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 Rehabilitation
One 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.

16. 16
PROMOTING
SPIRITUAL
NURTURE FOR
FILIPINO
CHILDREN
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
PARTICIPATION
As 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
Consultations
World 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.

#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

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.

GRANTS AND
SPECIAL PROJECTS
MOTHER-BABY FRIENDLY PHILIPPINES
About 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 ENTREPRENEURSHIP
In 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 PROJECT
ProFuturo 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.
