Celebrating 50 Years of Partnership in the Philippines

This year, we are honored to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ChildFund Japan’s operation in the Philippines. For five decades, our mission to support children and their families in achieving a life of dignity and opportunity has been at the heart of everything we do. This remarkable milestone would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our stakeholders, partners, and communities. We deeply thank our donors and sponsors for their generosity, our partner organizations for their collaboration, and the communities we serve for their trust and resilience. Your support has been the cornerstone of our success.

What ChildFund Japan Values Most?

ChildFund Japan began its activities after World War II, focusing on supporting the healthy growth of war orphans in Japan through international aid. While the times have changed and Japan has transitioned from being a recipient of support to a provider, the organization’s commitment remains unwavering: to strive for a society where every child can live with hope and dignity.

To achieve its vision, ChildFund Japan prioritizes children’s rights in all its activities. Through international cooperation, it aims to create meaningful connections among all individuals involved in its support efforts, transcending differences and fostering a shared sense of purpose. The organization strives to ensure that everyone can feel that their lives have value and meaning, affirming the sentiment, “It is good to be alive.”
