Kairos Children’s Fund was started in 2016 years ago as a heartfelt dream from the founder to see more kids able to go to school with dignity. That, regardless of background or circumstance, children could all attend and finish their education. Education in the Phiippines is supposed to be free, but there are costs involved.
Kairos means “the appointed time,” or “the critical moment.” We believe that helping children with education is the spark they need to help them rise out of poverty.
Up to this date, we have had 23 students who have benefited from Kairos Children’s Fund. Most of these students are either still with us or have graduated.
As we look back on the past six years, our hearts overflow with gratitude for the students who have become part of our family. Each of them, with their unique personalities, hopes, and dreams, has touched our lives in ways we never imagined possible,
At the heart of Kairos is our compassion and individual attention to personal and spiritual growth, and the Group Covenant that gives our scholars unified connecting principles. These three guiding pillars make our program unique and give it the Kairos success.
More about Us
Our Three Main Objectives
- That these children (and families) can receive an education that they might not otherwise be able to receive.a
- That they will be able to help their families to rise above poverty and become prosperous. – The character and worldview of these children will be build upon, until they become people who are both resilient and loving. – Sponsored children learn to love Jesus.
- They will be asked to help in a local church. Families of the child should attend church regularly. At the moment, all candidates are members of WIN Dumaguete or satellite churches.
The Group Covenant - the 'glue'
- We shall follow and advance the six principles of Kairos Children’s Fund: Love of God, Love for others, Mutual Respect, Discipline, Unity, and Hard work; but the first most of all.

How can I sponsor a child?
Click here to see the full page There are currently children waiting to be sponsored. Usually, these children go to school, but without complete school supplies and sometimes on an empty stomach. Since there are still no face-to-face classes, allowances help children in their daily needs as well as transportation for the parents when they pick up and drop off modules. Sponsorship is $35 per month. 15% of the money given goes to a shared fund for outings, meetings, and other administrative needs. The purchasing of backpacks and some school supplies will be done by the program. Parents are responsible to buy uniforms
Question: How long should I commit to?
We would ask that you commit to at least a year. If you really can not do that, we will ask you not to join Kairos. If, however, you have already started and can not continue sponsoring, you may stop if you really have to.
Question: Can I give gifts?
Sure! We encourage that. However, please course all gifts through us, as this can become an issue.
Question: Will my child write letters to me?
Yes. We ask that the person whom you are sponsoring write a letter every quarter. However, he/she may write more if you reply. Kids love to communicate with their sponsor.
