BACK TO ALL COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECTS

About the center

Our community campus in Daraga, Philippines, replaced a rented storefront that was woefully inadequate to care for the 7,000 children it served.

The new center features separate health and dental clinics, a library, computer center, playground and dedicated spaces for meetings and program activities — where children can learn, play and receive crucial benefits.

  • An invitation to attend the inauguration ceremony or visit the center anytime
  • Your name, or the name of someone important to you, inscribed on a plaque in the center

Another far-reaching opportunity: The chance to leave a lasting impression on the Daraga Community Center by naming one of the rooms in the facility.
