Building a Foundation for Their Future

Creative Beginnings

1 in 3 Filipino children live in poverty1 risking their foundational learning. We provide a free, safe space for early development through creative arts and play.

Building Character

Creative & analytical thinking are top future skills3. We go beyond academics, instilling values to develop independent, responsible citizens and community role models.

The Journey Forward

Only 17% of low-income youth enroll in higher education2. Our programs bridge this gap, providing educational assistance and skills training for their future.

What Others Say

Reese

What pushed me to volunteer at Right Start is seeing the kids being eager to learn, as well as the smiles on their faces. I’ve been teaching dance to the kids, and it’s so much fun seeing them enjoy what they’re doing, even when it’s difficult or when they make mistakes, they laugh it off and don’t take themselves too seriously, which I think is a good lesson to learn in life.

Ang batang Right Start ay puno ng determinasyon na matuto at sumunod sa kanilang magulang at kung sinuman ang nakatatanda sa kanila. Ito ay magandang asal ng kabataan sapagkat ito ay kanilang magiging gabay sa kanilang buhay na sila ay lumaking mabuting indibidual.
