Providing a Safe Haven for Children at Angel House Orphanage

Caring for Abandoned and Orphaned Children

Since its establishment in 2010, Angel House Orphanage Foundation has provided temporary care for vulnerable children, ensuring that every child receives the love, protection, and guidance they need. Over the past eleven years, we have cared for over one hundred children, many of whom were abandoned, neglected, abused, or orphaned.

As a registered and government-accredited organization, Angel House works closely with social welfare agencies to provide childcare support in the Philippines. Our goal is not only to provide a safe and nurturing home but also to process adoption cases when necessary or reunite children with their families whenever possible.

A Safe and Supportive Environment

Located in a quiet provincial town, Angel House offers a peaceful and secure space for children to grow. Our facilities include:

 

  • Four large bedrooms and an indoor play area
  • A spacious garden with swings, slides, and bicycles
  • Dedicated staff, including a director, social worker, caregivers, and a domestic helper

 

We accept children from newborns up to ten years old, with fourteen children currently in our care. Two of these children are awaiting adoption, while the others are receiving temporary care until they can safely reunite with their families.

Helping Abandoned and Orphaned Children in the Philippines

Many children at Angel House have parents facing difficult life circumstances—some are in prison due to abuse or drug-related offenses, while others come from single-parent homes struggling with financial hardship. Our social worker monitors each child’s situation and works toward family reunification when it is safe and appropriate.

Challenges During COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges for Angel House. Since March 2020, our children have been unable to leave the center, except for monthly visits to a private beach resort. Despite these limitations, we continue to:

 

  • Provide home-based learning for nine children enrolled in elementary school
  • Offer stimulating activities to promote infant and toddler development
  • Ensure a nurturing and structured environment despite the pandemic’s restrictions

 

How You Can Support Childcare in the Philippines

Angel House operates solely on donations from individuals worldwide. We receive no financial support from the government or religious organizations, making fundraising a constant challenge.

Thanks to the generosity of Moms Against Poverty, we have been able to secure food, baby formula, medicine, educational supplies, and essential utilities for our children. This funding is changing lives, ensuring that each child at Angel House has a brighter future.

Your support can help us continue providing essential childcare support in the Philippines.

There are many reasons that children need our loving care and protection; some of our children have parents in jail for abuse or in connection with drugs, others have been neglected by their parents or one parent has left the family home, leaving a single parent in difficult circumstances. We constantly monitor their family’s situation and work towards re-uniting the child with relatives when they are ready. Our social worker follows up their case to make sure that the child is being well cared for.

Covid-19 has been a big challenge for everyone, including the staff and children of Angel House. Our children have not been allowed to leave the center since March of last year, but they have coped very well, given the unusual circumstances (we do take them to a private beach resort once a month). Nine of our children are enrolled at the local elementary school, but are being home-schooled through modular learning with the help of our staff. Our infants and toddlers are given stimulating activities to ensure proper development.

Angel House receives no financial assistance from any government or religious organization, relying only on donations from individuals across the world that truly appreciate the important work that we are doing to change the lives of these vulnerable young children. Raising sufficient funds has been a constant struggle and that is why we were so delighted to be chosen by Moms against Poverty as their first project here in the Philippines. Their funding means that we have the food, baby formula, medicines and educational supplies we need, plus we can pay for our electricity, water and cooking gas. We can’t thank you enough for your amazing support that will give all of our children a brighter future.
