About
We are a fund raising, fund giving, and friends raising organization that supports projects on education, health & nutrition, and child welfare & development for Filipino children in need.
We do this by asking individuals, companies, and organizations to donate at least ONE HOUR of their annual salary or earnings once a year.
Our Vision
Our vision is to give the Filipino child the basic right to enjoy a happy, safe, and fulfilling future.
Our Mission
Our mission is to generate funds and friends nationwide by asking individuals, employees, companies, and organizations to donate at least one hour of their annual salary or earnings once a year, and to share their time and talent.
History
Children's hour began with a noble dream:
for every child to have a happy, safe, and fulfilling future.
Children’s Promise Campaign
Former United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Prime Minister Tony Blair, Sir Richard Greenbury of Marks & Spencer, and the New Millennium Company started a fundraising campaign called Children's Promise.
Foundation of Children’s Hour
IYF member and top businessman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala brought the campaign to the Philippines. And thus, Children's Hour was born.




The First One Hour Campaign
Children's Promise had a simple proposition: Each individual, employee, organization, or corporation would donate the final hour of their pay to projects that improved the lives of marginalized children. The idea grew and went global, with US-based International Youth Foundation as its pioneer.
20th Campaign Year
To date, we will be celebrating our 20th Campaign Year this fiscal year.
