BENEFICIARY - PURPLE CENTRES FOUNDATION

We support the ongoing work of Purple Centres Foundation (“PCF”) in Manila and this production continues to support PCF.  PCF works alongside Filipino families from dumpsite and cemetery communities in the Philippines to ensure children follow their dreams and fulfil their potential in safe, healthy, and positive communities.  The projects of PCF that we have supported for a number of years include the support of their school for the children (constructed of recycled shipping containers) and child sponsorship. We make periodic visits to the school in Manila to review its progress and ongoing work.  PCF’s website is at http://purplecenters.org
