Objectives

Children of the Dump works with children growing up around the filth and deprivation of the city rubbish dumps of Manila in the Philippines to ensure that they get an education as an opportunity to break the cycle of poverty. For over forty years we have effectively lifted children out of poverty and our impact is visible in the many graduates from our services now working as teachers social workers it engineers and other successful careers.
