Why we help

Imagine ... growing up as a child in a slum surrounded by noise, stench and mess. Today you haven't eaten anything. Your mother gave you some change to get through the day before she left for work. You just hope there will be a meal on the table tonight. You feel sad and hopeless. Your father died in prison, and there is no money for school supplies. As a result, you missed the start of the school year, but you dream of one day returning to school, learning a trade, finding a job. Away from here...

This dire situation is the daily reality for millions of children in the Philippines. Slums, where lack of basic needs and educational opportunities are the norm, are often places of hopelessness and extreme poverty. But in the midst of these challenges, hope is shining for the most vulnerable children.

Our Mission
Pasuk Foundation is a Christian children's development aid organization and has been active in the Philippines for more than 20 years. We believe that every child is unique and valuable. Therefore, we want to empower vulnerable children to develop their talents and achieve the purpose for which they were created. In cooperation with church partners in the Philippines, Pasuk Foundation offers hope and education to these children. Hope, through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And we provide educational opportunities for the children, to encourage their growth and self-reliance.

Core values
Our approach is based on a special combination of four core values:

INTEGRAL APPROACH
Poverty is a complex problem that can only be fought effectively if it is fought on all fronts. Therefore, we support Pasuk children with an integral approach to their mental, physical, social and spiritual poverty. DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN
Hope and education are the keys to development. For over 15 years, we have had the opportunity to experience how a positive outlook on the future and good education make a difference in the lives of Filipino children growing up in poverty. Therefore, we provide them with the necessary school supplies so that the children can attend school. VIA LOCAL CHURCH
The gospel offers hope, even in the Philippines. In the slums where we operate, many families are trapped in spiritual poverty. That is why Pasuk Foundation works together with Bible-believing, Christian churches in the Philippines, which are both actively spreading the gospel and committed to helping children and their families in practical ways. WITH VOLUNTEERS
Pasuk Foundation is a volunteer organization and makes full use of the time and talents of volunteers, products and services from companies and various grants. This is how we keep our costs low and at least 98% of donors' gifts directly benefit the development of Pasuk children.
