Our Impact
In school year 2025–26, K.I.D.S. supported 696 students at Cayetano Arellano High School. Annual assistance was increased from PHP 5,000 to PHP 6,000 per student as families continued to face higher education-related costs.
For 2026–27, K.I.D.S. plans to support 704 students at PHP 6,000 each — approximately PHP 4.2 million.
Our Mission
Former K.I.D.S. students have become student leaders, earned scholarships, attended college, and even become the next generation of volunteers and staffers for K.I.D.S. Foundation, giving back to the program that made a difference in their lives.
An investment of PHP 6,000 per student per year can make a life-changing difference for a Filipino child.
METHODOLOGY
Guided by Three Pillars
A relatively small investment can make a vast difference in a Filipino child’s life, but it takes more than just walking through the doors of a school — the students must be prepared to make the most of the opportunity.
Our process depends on three pillars:
Student Selection
Students are identified in coordination with the school based on financial need, academic progress and programme eligibility.
Practical Financial Support
Eligible students receive annual assistance towards education-related costs.
Monitoring and Continuity
The school and K.I.D.S. remain in contact regarding participation and progress so support remains focused on students who need it.
