Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation

In the Philippines, children face difficult challenges just to be able to go to school. Some children even have to swim to school with their school bags and uniforms getting wet in the process. And some of them don't have even the option to swim as they live in remote areas or far-flung islands or they are forced to work to help their families survive.

The Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation started when we found out there are children in the south of the Philippines who have to swim to school. We got inspired by the concept of the yellow school bus and applied it to water. Thus, the yellow (school) boat was born. But we didn't stop there, we are now building classrooms and schools, dormitories that serve as half-way houses, childcare facilities and other structures to ensure no child is left behind.

The Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation works to improve children's access to education and make it easier for them to go to school and stay in school.
