- ATD Fourth World

Philippines

ATD Fourth World Philippines was founded in 1989 in Manila (the city capital).
Strong links has been established with 4 Manila impoverished communities: a public cemetery, under a bridge at Quirino Avenue, and two neighborhoods in Pandacan located beside a water canal, Hilum and Lozada.
The team also visits resettlement areas in Bulacan and Laguna which are located outside Metro Manila.
In all the communities, ATD Philippines has the following regular programs: Cultural Actions (Street Libraries, Workshops, Trainings and the Festival of Learning), Forums, and the October 17 commemoration at Rizal Park (Manila). All actions are in response to the needs of the different members of the community…children, parents, and adults, particularly the youth.
Once a year, ATD Philippines organizes Creative HeARTS, a fundraising and awareness campaign. It features artworks made by the ATD families alongside with the volunteers and friends.
Through the years, the ATD spirit has grown as more people ( community facilitators, friends and partner organizations) have taken greater commitment to be part of ATD Philippines’ actions. Their commitment varies from joining the activities, creating links with organizations and individuals, fundraising, organizing workshops and trainings, and doing administrative tasks.
The team welcomes regularly trainees for 3 months or more who want to discover ATD Fourth World.
