CENTER FOR CHANGE FOUNDATION
Leyte-Samar Center for Change Foundation operating
since 2002 exists to give street children and other risk
children a future and a hope. Presently, this project gives
residential care to 70 children in a magnificient village of
ten homes (seven operating with loving house parents
caring for ten children in each homes). Each home opera-
tes as a family unit. We are not offering institutional care,
but a loving home.
A recognized elementary school has proven to be one
of the success strategies in giving a well balanced, stable
life and education to each child.
The Center continues to move toward self-sufficiency
growing crops, producing virgin coconut oil, soap,
and shampoo.
Plans are underway to ensure the ongoing rescue
of more children by becoming self-funding through
building and operating resort style accommodation
and restaurants. This will offer employment to gra-
duates. The latest innovation of the Center for
Change is further impacting the community by ope-
rating a Youth and Community Center in Tacloban
City. Nine older youth are currently housed in this
facility and further mentored as they learn to work
and study in the greater community. This facility
entertains "Kids Club" for working children.
Currently, 400 children are in attendance in two
separate kids clubs.
