Channel of Hope Foundation · Philippines · since 1998

Hope, carried by hand.

For almost 28 years our volunteers have walked into daycare centres, hospital wards, prisons and flooded streets with school supplies, food, comfort and the love of Christ. Your gift puts something real into a child's hands.

Christmas 2026: no child forgotten

Every December we bring gift bags, school things and a warm meal to children in daycare centres, families in poor communities, the elderly, and the women we visit in prison. For families who struggle to put food on the table, a gift bag and a full meal make Christmas feel like Christmas. Help us reach as many as we can this year.

    Our work

    Where we go, every week

    We don't run big programs from an office. We show up, again and again, for the same children, mothers and families.

    Poor daycare centres & schools

    Ongoing donations of goods and learning materials to over 200 daycare centres in Parañaque, Taguig, Marikina, Mindoro, Tacloban and Bicol. On average, 2,000 children are helped through these programs every year.
