POCM helps children who have been abused, abandoned, neglected and incarcerated with parents in jail, by providing a loving home. A Special Care Division helps children with special needs and a baby unit is home to 10 babies and toddlers who have been rescued. Philippine Outreach Centre Academy is POC's school which provides a free education to over 150 students.

Story

This organisation provides a loving home and a free education to children who have been abused, abandoned, neglected or incarcerated with their parents in jail. They currently provide a home to babies, children, young people and children with special needs. There are more than 85 being cared for in total but much more could be done if they could have larger and more suitable accomodation. Recently a building and some land has become available which could allow the creation of a purpose built centre to house feed and educate these needy youngsters. At the moment there is just the shell of a building which will need renovating and fitting out to create the new centre. To purchase the land and the existing building (which used to be a hospital) and to renovate and re-build it will cost about £500,000. I think that they will need a further similar amount to fit out the new building and provide the start up costs to get the project off the ground.

I am therefore suggesting that together we should try to raise £1,000,000 for this project.
