OUR INITIATIVES
Goducate is dedicated to transforming underserved communities in the Philippines by addressing urgent needs while implementing programs that deliver sustainable, long-term impact. Guided by the enduring principle: “Give a man a fish and he will not hunger for a day; teach a man to fish and he will not hunger for a lifetime,” we work to catalyze change, empower individuals, and strengthen community resilience for generations to come.
FEEDING PROGRAM
Malnutrition is not just a problem to be acknowledged—it demands decisive action. It is a long-term crisis that devastates a child’s health, energy, learning, and future. In many of the communities we serve, children suffer from persistent malnourishment.
At Goducate, the alarming levels of undernutrition require immediate intervention. We confront this crisis head-on by providing life-changing support through nutritious meals served three times a week. To truly tackle malnutrition, we engage the people who can make the biggest difference in a child’s life: their parents.
When a child is nourished, the cycle of poverty is broken. When a community takes action, the future is transformed. We will not rest until every child receives the nutrition they need to grow, learn, and thrive.
SKILLS ENHANCEMENT
Filipinos have immense potential to excel, yet opportunities to develop and apply these talents are often limited.
At Goducate, we unlock and transform this potential into powerful, life-changing skills. We believe that the right assessment, guidance, and support are key to unleashing each person’s abilities. More importantly, we encourage individuals to apply their skills to serve and empower others, creating a ripple effect of positive change in their families and communities.
Through programs for children, youth, and adults, we provide practical training in music and other creative disciplines, sports, leadership, public speaking, and community initiatives. These skills build confidence, discipline, and teamwork, while equipping participants to take initiative and become agents of transformation.
By turning potential into actionable skills, we are not only shaping capable individuals — we are cultivating a generation of leaders who uplift their communities and drive sustainable, community-led progress.
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
Many young people today face a range of challenges. Some struggle with mental health issues or academic pressures, while others are affected by the overwhelming influence of technology, exposure to drugs, teenage pregnancy, gambling, negative peer influence, and many more to mention. These circumstances can cloud their judgment, derail ambitions, and create cycles that are difficult to break.
Goducate witnesses these struggles up close and responds by creating spaces that awaken minds, nurture potential, and ignite purpose. Through transformative forums, intentional mentorship, and immersive programs, we guide young people to rise above life’s distractions, resist destructive paths, and embrace a vision far greater than their present circumstances. We have established youth hubs equipped with laptops, serving as gateways to knowledge, creativity, and global connection. These hubs offer a safe and welcoming place where curiosity can flourish and dreams can take shape. For those whose aspirations burn brightly but whose resources are scarce, we extend life altering scholarships that dismantle barriers, open doors of opportunity, and set them on a journey toward a future illuminated with hope and endless possibility.
By guiding today’s young people, we are cultivating the principled, capable leaders who will transform communities for decades to come.
EDUCATION
The Philippines is in the grip of a severe education crisis. Even before the pandemic, countless children were already struggling to read, write, and grasp fundamental skills. When COVID-19 struck in 2020, the system was caught unprepared, leaving millions of students behind as classrooms closed and learning shifted online. Beyond the pandemic, the nation’s education remains highly vulnerable to recurring natural disasters, including typhoons, floods, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes, which continue to disrupt schooling and deepen learning gaps.
At APIIS Goducate Academy, we believe that education is not merely the duty of schools, but a shared mission of families and communities. During the pandemic, when many parents were overwhelmed in guiding their children’s learning at home, we rose to the challenge with digital lessons and innovative training sessions that enabled families not only to endure, but also to thrive in their learning journey. More than literacy, we champion learning that begins at home. Through Online Trainings and Life Talk Sessions, parents are given safe and meaningful spaces to confront real family concerns, including parenting, child care, safety, talents, values, and mental health. From these conversations, stronger relationships are forged and wiser families are raised. Parent-Leaders then carry the mission forward by mentoring others, sparking a growing movement of families rising together through shared wisdom and collective responsibility.
When children are granted the gift of learning, they gain the courage to dream. When parents are empowered, families are fortified. And when communities unite around education, a nation’s future is transformed.
FAITH AND VALUES FORMATION
The Council for the Welfare of Children reports that one in every three Filipino children aged 0 to 18 uses the internet, while the National ICT Household Survey shows that 60% of children aged 10 to 17 are not only online but active users. Today’s children are growing up in a digital world shaped by videos, games, and interactivity. Without proper guidance, they are easily influenced by content that entertains but does not build character.
At Goducate, we meet children where they are—online—through GoKidz Asia (God Online for Kidz), a dedicated children’s channel that brings life-changing, faith-based content into every home. Through engaging videos, songs, and stories, we spread God’s Word and instill values that nurture literacy, character, and life skills.
Beyond producing content, GoKidz Asia also trains and mentors young creatives, equipping them with real world digital skills, discipleship, and opportunities to serve as future leaders and digital missionaries.
When faith is nurtured and values are formed, children grow stronger, families are uplifted, and future nation-builders are empowered.
