Dr. Shiva Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Are there any reliable Philippine charities around? In Tayasan they have to build a new simple kindergarten, but the goverment is not paying anything for it. Therefore I'm searching for a reliable charity which can fund that project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you looking for reliable charitable organizations to donate to or are you soliciting for donations for the project you have displayed? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a charity organisation which can fund the cost of building this kindergarten project. One organisation based in the US and are primary funding educational projects on the Philippines did not wanted to fund the project. I assume that they are either out of funds or not being honest. That was the case why I'm searching for more reliable charities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clermont Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Just a thought, maybe approach the school and ask for voluntary labor and approach businesses in the baragay for donations, that's about the only way your going to get the program off the ground.

This is in their Remit Did not want to help either Call me a cynic, but after almost 5 years here, but imho unless you can show the local authorities how this will either line their pockets, or get them reelected, they most likely will not be of much help, your best be I believe is search online for a overseas charitable organization that specializes in 3rd world education assistance. good luck 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjack2847 Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) Why don`t you ask the local expats for a small donation it will get it a little further along.Then the Barangay captain may help as he will see his popularity in dougbt. Well maybe.There is a group of expats in Dalaguete who donate to a different school each month.After they started the local businesses/prominent people helped (a few I might add not all) so now it is going quite well and lots of children benefit. But because the expats took it upon themselves to start the other prominent people in the town joined in.It gave them a jolt in their conscience or their re- election status.

Dr. Shiva Posted October 17, 2017 Author Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) With oversea charities I had only bad experiences. As I was once looking for funds for helping a kid with Leukemia, I got either a denial of service or no response. No charity wanted to help that kid. And on the list was many renowned charities. Most did not help because they are not active on the Philippines. But the ones who are active, they point me to their Philippines offices. And those are not responding at all.
