IT Tender comes alongside children that live on the streets of Manila and give them HOPE for their future.
These children are not in their own homes for a number of really complicated issues, so they live on the streets. Many of them sniff glue in order to take the pain away: The pain of hunger, the pain of loneliness, the pain of desperation. The glue they sniff deadens this pain and helps them to survive.
John & Gella saw these kids on the streets and wanted to offer them hope. The started the IT Tender Drop-In Center, and it is here that these children are fed nutritional meals. It’s here that they are able to either get help to go to school, or join the alternative education program that helps them complete school at the center. It’s here that these kids get medical attention and are given vitamins. It’s here that these kids are able to get clean clothes and take a shower.
John & Gella and the IT Tender Team serve the needs of these children and work to re-establish them in their homes, working with their parents and families. These kids are taught and trained and encouraged… they have HOPE!
The Extreme Kids Fund will come alongside the IT Tender Team to provide the resources to serve these children and this team. The vision is to feed more children, to get more children into formal education and to help more children reunite with their families. Long-term plans include an orphanage for those that have no place to go!
Help us impact the children in the Philippines through the Extreme Kids Fund!
