One Heart for Hope is a 501(c)(3) public charity organization to provide essential needs that every child deserves and to help provide a safe environment where they can learn, grow, and achieve. We believe every child's life is precious and deserves the same potential and opportunity as any other life.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Resource Center for Children in the remote areas.
1. Access to books and learning aids to children with no access to education materials.
2. Introduction to basic computer and technology education
3. Install learning modules for all grade levels approved by the Dept. of Education
4. Provide trained teachers and counselors to monitor the program effectively.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
1. Train more teachers for volunteer opportunities.
2. Seek resource learning center facilities from various remote regions
3. Certify teachers to become alternative learning school teachers to students who cannot attend full time school curriculum.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Increased fundraising campaigns, seek grants and more volunteer participations. One Heart for Hope expands its programs through partnerships and collaboration with corporations, other charitable organizations, schools and private organizations. We have active volunteers who regularly seeks ideas and campaign to expand our mission to more parts of the Philippines.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Have started our first resource center in 2012. Learning Center also started and continued until 2013 and 2016. Will continue to expand in the rest of the coming years as the program is very successful and expanding each year. Efforts to build a library and resource center in other remote regions are also in place.
