About RAFI Dolores Aboitiz Children’s Fund

The first 1000 days of a child's life are crucial for their development.

Our focus is on empowering communities in Cebu to tackle key issues in early childhood care and development, including raising awareness about the importance of early education and addressing child hunger. Our objective is to enhance the well-being of underprivileged children by establishing safe environments for learning and play, promoting awareness of child nutrition, and building the capacity of early education institutions to deliver quality services.

Through these efforts, we ensure that our children grow up healthy and ready for kindergarten.

Latest accomplishments

"RAFI has done so much in helping us improve on ECCD program delivery. The Duwa Academy is a big boost in strengthening character and increasing the confidence of our CDT's as they prepare children to enter the formal school system."
