Alternative Child Care Program
KBF’s Alternative Child Care Program (ACCP) is a testament to the pursuance of its mission of providing a safe and loving permanent home to Filipino children.
ACCP aims to provide quality alternative child care services that will ensure the protection of a child without parental care.
Foster Care
KBF provides planned temporary family care to children from newborn to five years old while waiting to be reunited with their birth family or be adopted.
Licensed foster families provide the family environment needed for the growth and development of the child in their care
Domestic Adoption
This is a socio administrative process that establishes a permanent parent-child relationship between persons not related by birth.
KBF provides professional services required from the time of recruitment of adoptive families to the finalization of adoption.
Domestic adoption is now easier, cheaper, and streamlined - - you don't have to undergo court proceedings.
Independent Living
Independent Living and Educational Assistance (ILEA) provides housing, school fees coverage, job training and placement, and other support services to abandoned/orphaned youths in their late teens who have 'aged-out' of child-caring agencies/orphanages.
KBF has recognized the need for service continuity with education as its main tool to prepare them for the real world.
The concept of ILEA was born to help these children become independent, productive and Godfearing citizens in the near future.

Sponsorship Program
Transforming lives since 1984. By providing vital financial support to residential child care centers, we ensure every orphaned or neglected child has the resources to thrive.
Holt International “Orphan Care” Program was started in the Philippines in July 1984, a preliminary proposal on the Sponsorship Program between the Reception and Study Center for Children – RSCC NCR and Holt International Children’s Services was agreed upon and immediately implemented in August 1984. There were forty-seven (47) babies sponsored until December 1984.
The assurance from Holt to continue the Sponsorship Program thru 1985 brought about a more significant relationship and appreciation between the two agencies. This financial assistance proved to be a timely response to the increasing needs of the growing admission at RSCC Quezon City.
Description of the Program
Holt International Sponsorship Program enables sponsors, the child care centers, foster care children, families of children in the community, and staff in-country to share in providing vital services to needy children. Good photographs and comprehensive, timely child reports are Sponsorship’s primary tool to funding overseas programs serving children successfully.
Child Sponsorship allows an individual to provide funds to assist a child’s well-being until te child becomes self-sufficient. This is a way for Holt to raise funds to support the children and families in Holt’s programs.
The goal for each child in Sponsorship are Family Preservation, Family Reunification, Adoption or Long Term Care.
Rationale
Started in 1984 to address the needs of RSCC NCR, this program grew from 47 babies to a vital partnership that supports children until they become self-sufficient.
The Goal
We work toward permanent outcomes for every child: Family Preservation, Family Reunification, Adoption, or stable Long-Term Care.
Eligibility
Agencies providing 24-hour care for children 0-12 years who are abandoned or neglected, specifically those needing nutritional support.

Submitted with JPEG photos for initial children or replacement cases every time a sponsored child is discharged.
Comprehensive progress reports and photos submitted three times a year to track development and health.
Formal reports submitted within the quarter of a child's discharge to properly close their sponsorship file.

Nutrition and Health Services
Standardizing child nutrition screening and feeding practices to improve health and well-being of vulnerable children around the Philippines.
Our Objectives
NHS supports orphanages to improve health monitoring, filling in the gaps to create a more complete picture of health for every child in care, everywhere we work.
Training of Trainers
Through this model of intensive training of trainers who will train others, we maximize our outreach exponentially. The training comes with tools to support caregivers as they learn concepts and implement the skills and practices.
Nutrition Screening System
Tracking and monitoring a child’s growth is the best way to identify risk of malnutrition. Through the NSS, caregivers learn how to track critical indicators for every child in care. The NSS is accompanied by a database that empowers caregivers to not only provide better individual child care, but also track trends across the institution to inform best practices.
Feeding & Positioning
This training is designed for children who cannot feed themselves, primarily for infants and children with disabilities. We have found that small interventions like holding a baby during feeding, sitting children upright or changing the texture if their food can have dramatic life-changing effects for the child.
