PCF works to end child labour & restore childhood to children and families living on the dumpsites & in the cemeteries of the Philippines! We provide a vehicles for them to change their own futures through education and also have a livelihood department where parents can provide for their families in a safe environment earning a good wage. We have programmes in Education, Social Welfare, Livelihood, Nutrition and Health. Our Mission is to improve the quality of life for impoverished Filipino communities, to bring stability and realisable potential through sustainable education, nutrition, health and community advocacy programmes, as well as livelihood training initiatives, regardless of religion, race or political boundaries. PCF works in the most depressed areas of the Philippines reaching out to communities that live in extreme crisis situations, unable to provide for their most basic needs and without the hope or ability to change their futures. PCF’s five programmes operate in a large slum area in Tondo, Manila, San Jose Cemetery in Navotas, Manila and Baguio rubbish dump. Targeted beneficiaries are children and their families living in squalid shanty towns by city rubbish dumps where residents search for recyclable rubbish. PCF community schools, feeding and health programmes help rescue child labourers, as young as 4 years old, from the rubbish dumps. Adult skills training and livelihood projects offer families an alternative income to waste picking. PCF focuses its approach at family and community levels, holding firm that every Filipino child and their family should be secure and free from the effects of poverty. PCF strongly believes in working with the community for the community and we strive to find innovative solutions to the needs of the communities we serve.
