Welcome to the Tondo, Manila Resilience Project - an initiative by the Emancip8 Project committed to serving and uplifting the community of Tondo, Manila, Philippines.

As an active philanthropic NGO in Southeast Asia, we are now offering collaboration frameworks to initiatives that are focused on serving the people of Tondo, Manila, Philippines. We have chosen to focus our efforts on this area due to the acute challenges it faces, including widespread poverty, limited access to medical care, high rates of human trafficking, and a lack of educational resources for children.

Our goal is to bring hope, health, and happiness to the more than 1,000 children living in this slum, along with their families and the broader community.

Nutritious Food Programs carrot - Emancip8 Project

Nutritious Food Programs

In the face of malnutrition and food scarcity, our food programs aim to provide nutritious meals to the children and families of Tondo. We believe that access to healthy food is a basic human right and the foundation for a healthy life. Our team will distribute fresh, locally-sourced meals, while also teaching families about nutrition and healthy cooking techniques.
Medical Treatment - briefcase-medical Emancip8 Project

Medical Treatment

Healthcare should not be a privilege but a right. In Tondo, limited access to healthcare is a significant problem. The Emancip8 Project will bring in a team of healthcare professionals to provide medical check-ups, treatments, and vaccinations. We will also provide health education sessions to empower the community to take care of their health and wellbeing.
