Dear Supporters,
We are deeply honored to share the latest update from the cemetery community in the Philippines, where your unwavering generosity continues to bring light and hope to children and families facing unimaginable hardships.
In April 2025, just as planned, our team visited the cemetery community to listen, learn, and walk alongside the families we serve. With your heartfelt support, we distributed essential medical supplies, hygiene kits to children and their families, offering not just aid, but also a reminder that they are not forgotten.
We partnered with local medical professionals to provide health check-ups, vaccinations, and health education. In addition, we introduced hygiene education sessions for children and parents, sharing simple but powerful knowledge to help protect their health. These small but meaningful steps are planting seeds for lasting change — a future where every child can grow up healthier and with more hope.
Our journey is far from over. Following our latest assessment, we have identified areas where your support is needed more than ever. In the months ahead, we are committed to:
Deepening partnerships with local healthcare providers to ensure children and families have consistent access to medical care and essential medications.
Expanding our hygiene education programs to empower more families with the knowledge to lead healthier lives.
Continuing the distribution of hygiene kits, medical supplies, and other essentials to meet the urgent needs of the community.
Thank You for Being the Light
Every smile we see, every life we touch — it all begins with you. Your kindness, your belief in their potential, and your willingness to stand with them are making a world of difference.
As we move forward, we promise to keep sharing the stories of the children whose futures you are helping to rewrite with compassion and love. Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are nurturing hope where it is needed most.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The U-9 Change Team
