Do you remember feeling safe, loved, and cared for as a child? Unfortunately, not all children are privileged to grow up in a stable and nurturing environment. In the Philippines, many children face the harsh realities of poverty, neglect, and abuse, leaving them vulnerable and alone. That’s where organizations like Tahanan ng Pagmamahal Children’s Home (TPCH) come in. Tahanan ng Pagmamahal, which means “Home of Love” in English, is a non-profit organization providing a safe and loving home for underprivileged children. Through foster care, education, healthcare, and emotional support programs, Tahanan ng Pagmamahal gives children a second chance at a brighter future. But it can’t do it alone. In this blog post, we’ll explore how you can make a difference in the lives of these children and why supporting Tahanan ng Pagmamahal is more crucial than ever.

It’s hard to imagine what life is like for a child who doesn’t have a stable and supportive family to turn to. Poverty, abandonment, and neglect can affect a child’s physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. In the Philippines, according to UNICEF, approximately 13.4 million children, or 36% of all children under 18, were classified as living in poverty in 2009. These children face various challenges, from malnutrition and illness to exposure to violence and exploitation.

That’s why Tahanan ng Pagmamahal exists to provide children with a home and a family. Since its founding in 2007, it has been committed to serving vulnerable and marginalized children. The organization believes every child deserves a chance to live a happy and fulfilling life. But it needs your support to continue this vital work.
