Tragically, due to stigmas and cultural expectations surrounding children and families, most children abandoned in the Philippines have special needs. Significant gaps in socioeconomic status has also led to widespread poverty in the more rural areas of the Philippines. Due to this cycle of poverty, 32% of infants are stunted due to poor nutrition.

AGCI has been intervening for children and families in the Philippines since 2012! Through our international adoption program, we help children as young as two years old unite with their forever families! AGCI is also committed to intervening for orphans throughout the Philippines–thanks to AGCI, 500 children received critical support in the wake of a devastating typhoon.
