Cottolengo Filipino is a non-stock, non-profit religious and non-government organization licensed and accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). It is owned and managed by the Sons of Divine Providence Congregation founded by Saint Luigi Orione, an apostle of charity and father of the poor. Its aim is to serve the most poor, abandoned, neglected, surrendered persons with disabilities.
Our mission and goal is to give our special children a home to live and the possibility to be rehabilitated. To date, we are helping 85 children in two groups: 40 orphans abandoned disabled children with multiple disabilities (physical and/or mental) who live in the center. We also assist other 45 poor disabled children from the nearby community who come daily to our institution to receive free special education in our SPED center and also basic medical assistance and physiotherapy.

Cottolengo Kids touched our hearts in a different and unique way. It was a memorable experience for us to celebrate my son's first birthday with them. They are so precious!
