Helping Children Stay Healthy, Supporting Families

By Mira Kim | Head of International Cooperation Team

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for standing with the children and families of Tondo.

In July, we shared how your generosity helps provide essential medical care, hygiene supplies, and health education. As the year draws toward its close, these remain central priorities for our project, alongside our commitment to helping families access care when they need it.

Keeping everyday healthcare within reach

For families facing financial hardship, even basic medicines and medical supplies can be difficult to afford. A child's health needs can place additional pressure on already limited household resources.

Our focus remains on supporting access to basic treatment, vitamins, essential supplies, and follow-up care. Particular attention to children with skin conditions remains important, along with helping caregivers recognize when a child needs further medical attention.

Your partnership helps sustain this commitment to accessible, consistent care.

Making prevention part of daily life

Medical treatment is one part of supporting healthier children. Practical guidance on handwashing, personal hygiene, nutrition, and early signs of illness is also an important part of our approach.

Our goal is to help children and caregivers put this knowledge into practice in ways that fit their daily circumstances. Access to hygiene supplies matters alongside education, giving families practical support to follow the guidance they receive.

Working alongside the community

Local volunteers are an important link between families and healthcare support. Their knowledge of the community helps identify children who may need additional attention and families who face barriers to seeking care.

Working closely with volunteers remains a priority as we seek to reach vulnerable children and connect families with appropriate services. Listening to caregivers also helps us better understand where support is most needed.

Our priorities for the months ahead

Building on the plans outlined in July, we will focus on:

  • Sustaining access to basic medicines, essential medical supplies, and follow-up care.

  • Supporting regular health check-ups and timely attention to children's health concerns.

  • Reaching additional families identified as needing assistance.

  • Providing hygiene supplies and practical health education for children and caregivers.

  • Coordinating with local volunteers to help families access appropriate care.

We look forward to sharing further progress as these efforts develop.

Your generosity supports a simple but meaningful goal: helping children receive care when they are unwell and helping families protect their health every day.

Thank you for your continued trust and compassion. Your partnership keeps the children of Tondo at the heart of this work and helps us plan for the support they will need in the months ahead.

With heartfelt gratitude,
