Buhay Makulay Children's Project Inc

Serving children and youth in the Philippines

Nathania (Tanya) Aritao (UWC Costa Rica) from the Philippines set up the NGO Buhay Makulay Children’s Project Inc.

Tanya says "Although I was already involved in community service while growing up in the Philippines, my experience at UWC inspired me to take my outreach to the next level by establishing my own non-profit organisation. Through the Buhay Makulay Children’s Project Inc, I am able to serve children and youth at risk in the Philippines, through creative programs executed in partnership with local NGOs. Our latest project, the 12 Gifts of Christmas, is a fundraising initiative to bring hope and joy, in the form of Christmas packages, to families affected by the recent devastating typhoons that affected millions of Filipinos.”
