About Us


Cartwheel Foundation, Inc. was born in 1999. We are a  non- religious, non-stock, non-profit organization that partners with individuals and organizations who believe that education is key to economic development.


Communities are the key arenas in which the battle to improve education and enhance economic development will be won or lost.


One of our guiding principles is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child that clearly states the right of every child to quality basic education. Our primary goal is to "bring education where it's needed most" in the Philippines.  Our pilot area is in Region 10, Mindanao but we also assist other IP communities that have invited us.

   
 
Our Mission

Cartwheel exists to provide education to indigenous children and communities with no access to basic services.   We invite professionals and corporations to be advocates of change for these children in need of a brighter future.

Our Vision

A Philippines where indigenous children and adults with no access to basic services enjoy their right to quality education and active participation in community life
     
     

Our main goals are to increase literacy rates and improve self-sufficiency by establishing schools;  training teachers for young children;  supporting scholars in pre-school and college, and providing adults with opportunities and skills to achieve economic growth and prosperity.  We also provide emergency feeding and medical services when a community's malnutrition levels are deemed critical..
