Hope 4 Kids International serves two communities in the Philippines: Marikina, a poor suburb of Manila, and Victoria, on the island of Mindoro, located south of Manila. We travel south by ferry to reach Mindoro Island. Our ministry partner has been serving the poor in the Philippines for over 40 years, primarily in Marikina, but upon his retirement he wanted to return to his ancestral home of Victoria, Mindoro. This community is home to many agricultural workers and single mothers. Preschool is out of reach for many families, so our partner had the idea to open a preschool, to give the poor children in the community the chance to start school with more of the advantages that wealthier families can afford. This preschool also gives mothers the opportunity to work during the day. We are so blessed to partner with this community to give the children of Mindoro a chance to escape poverty.
