Keep a child in school
Individuals, companies, schools and institutions all have a part to play. What matters most is that support is steady enough to last a whole school year, not a single afternoon.
What support pays for
Indicative costs, per child. The Foundation will confirm current figures and publish exact amounts with its annual report.
A Balik-Eskwela kit
A school bag and a full set of grade-appropriate supplies, handed to the child before the school year opens.
A full scholarship year
A kit, continuing assistance for every grading period, academic monitoring and tutoring support where needed.
Livelihood and legal support
Skills training through SINULID ng Pag-asa and paralegal case assistance through LAYA, the support that shortens separation.
How to give
To make a donation, please contact the Secretariat at kidfinityandbeyond@gmail.com or use the enquiry form below, selecting “Donation”. The Secretariat will send the Foundation's official bank details and issue an acknowledgement receipt for every gift received.
For your protection: the Foundation will only ever share bank details from its official email address. Please do not send money to any account shared through social media messages or by individuals claiming to represent the Foundation.
Institutional partnerships
Our work depends on partners who bring what a small foundation cannot: facilities, expertise, reach and continuity.
We already coordinate with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology and the Makati City Jail, and have opened partnership discussions with Museo Pambata and, through it, with Khan Academy Philippines on tutoring for scholars.
We are particularly interested in hearing from:
- Schools and universities able to offer tutoring or scholarships
- Law firms and legal aid groups able to take on LAYA casework
- Companies able to offer livelihood training or post-release employment
- Counsellors and psychologists able to support YAKAP sessions
- Local government units and other detention facilities
Give your time
Volunteers help at distribution events, tutor scholars, support the Secretariat and lend professional skills, accounting, design, photography, law and social work among them.
Because our work involves children and detention facilities, all volunteers who have contact with beneficiaries go through the Foundation's safeguarding orientation, and some roles require clearances from the facility.
