Who We Are
Kapwa Global Foundation
is a nonprofit organization incorporated in the state of California and currently in the process of obtaining 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Approval is expected soon, and once granted, donations made will be retroactively recognized for tax-deduction purposes, with receipts issued accordingly.
Our Guiding Principle
Kapwa Global Foundation is rooted in the deeply held Filipino value of “Kapwa,” which represents shared humanity, interconnectedness, and mutual support. We believe that no one stands alone and our well-being is linked to the well-being of others.
Our Mission
Kapwa Global Foundation is committed to helping families overcome the obstacles to better health, inclusion, and overall well-being, while maintaining their dignity. “Kapwa” is the guiding principle that inspires compassion and fosters collective responsibility. It drives our mission to uplift children, families, and communities facing adversity, particularly those affected by both disabilities and poverty.
How We Help
Through comprehensive programs in medical care, therapeutic support, nutrition, disaster relief, and community-based education, we empower individuals and families to overcome hardship while preserving their dignity. Our vision is a world where all children, regardless of their circumstances, have access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
Essential Nutrition and Wellness
Nutrition and feeding support are imperative for children with disabilities. Many struggle with malnutrition because their condition often affects their ability to eat, digest, and absorb nutrients properly which can lead to stunted growth and weakened immune systems. We know that good nutrition helps maintain muscle function, bone strength, and energy levels needed for movement. Kapwa Global helps supply appropriate nutritional support for the individual child based on their condition and needs.
Medical & Therapeutic Care
Children with disabilities require a range of essential resources to support their development, health and overall well-being. Access to medical services, therapeutic care, and proper equipment has a profound impact on children with disabilities, improving their health, mobility, and quality of life. Kapwa Global provides essential financial assistance needed to access medical and therapeutic care for early intervention. We also provide crucial medicines to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
Caregiver Education
Parent education is critical in helping children with disabilities thrive by empowering caregivers with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to support their child’s development. Parents learn about their child’s specific condition, strengths, and challenges, allowing them to provide tailored support. We also help build a supportive network and connect them to resources in the community. By providing nurturing care, caregivers give children the best chance to thrive and reach their full potential.
