Hundreds of children showed up to receive bags filled with school supplies. Children’s Hope Fund helps to empower impoverished children to overcome poverty by ensuring that every child is prepared to learn and succeed in the 2017-2018 school year. Thanks to everyone who supported our cause, and thank you to all our volunteers. You have every reason to be proud of the part you play in bringing about a more just, fair and compassionate world. Education is an effective route out of poverty and having the opportunity to help children from disadvantaged backgrounds is a gift!

River Bend Middle School, you made our day! I just opened the mail and found your generous donation. Your support means so much, not only to the school, but to the kids you are helping. Thank you for your donation!

School year in the Philippines begins June 2017. Our goal is to help over 300 in-need children to be able to attend school this year. While basic education is free in the Philippines, additional fees like books, school uniforms and school supplies are not and a heavy burden for many families to bear. Please help us build a future for needy children in Bacoor. If you have any fundraising ideas please let us know. We are a very small nonprofit without a large or influential board of directors. We are a group of friends that started and runs CHF and totally depend on our friends and family’s donations and help in spreading the word. We are currently working to help children for the 2017 school year. Please help us help them.

Typhoon Haiyan

Comments off

As you’ve likely seen in the news over the last few days, the Philippines were hit by Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest typhoon to make landfall in recorded history, with winds in excess of 200 mph, resulting in thousands of lives likely lost, and hundreds of thousands displaced from their homes. Our thoughts and well-wishes go out to everyone affected by this devastating natural disaster. CNN has a page on its website listing many ways in which you can help the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan. We urge you to help any way you can. Thank you.

A special thank you to the Asian Pacific American Law Students Association at American University Washington College of Law for hosting a bubble tea fundraiser to benefit Children’s Hope Fund.  The fundraiser was a great success – educating the community about CHF’s mission and raising enough funds to provide assistance to four students.  Thank you WCL and APALSA for your generosity and support!

Children’s Hope Fund is dedicated to working with others to promote the education and well-being of impoverished children by providing school supplies, nutritious meals, clothing, and more. By doing this, we can break the cycle of poverty that plagues the poorest children in the Philippines.

CHF is currently seeking new members for its Board of Directors. As an organization run completely by volunteers, we seek dedicated individuals who have experience in fundraising, event planning, education, nonprofit management, finance/accounting, PR, and other areas relevant to the development of the organization.

We are happy to announce that you can now set up a recurring monthly donation to Children’s Hope Fund through PayPal. If you look in the right sidebar you will see a “Donate Monthly” button with a drop-down menu to choose your donation amount. For as little as $10 a month (two trips to Starbucks) you can be helping the children of Bacoor get an education and escape the cycle of poverty. Every little bit helps, if 10 people commit to a $10 per month donation, that adds up to $100 per month ($1200 per year!) for the children of Bacoor , and so on, so don’t think that your $10 per month isn’t enough to make a difference, it all adds up in the end. Remember, it only takes ~$20 to help one child be able to attend school for the year by providing them with necessary school supplies and assistance with school fees. 🙂 Thank you again for your ongoing support!

Children’s Hope Fund would like to thank The Filipino Cultural Association at Towson University for their generous donation of school supplies for our students in need this year. We are very grateful for their help as these school supplies will enable the students at Bacoor Elementary School to start the school year with the supplies they need to succeed.

We have until May 25 to collect backpacks, school supplies, clothing, and of course monetary donations to help with our 2013 Back To School Backpack Drive.  Contact us at info@childrenshopefund.org if you would like to donate supplies. Below is a list of items that are needed:

  • Backpacks
  • Pencils
  • Notebooks
  • Erasers
  • Chalk
  • Arts & Crafts Kits
  • Textbooks (K-6, all subjects)
  • Teacher’s Manuals (all subjects)
  • Dictionaries
  • Encyclopedias
  • Books (Fiction and Non-Fiction, K-6 levels)
  • Educational Videos or DVDs
