In its early years in the Philippines, World Vision helped three orphanages in South Cotabato, Iloilo and Davao City. Childcare projects were implemented in orphanages and day care centers in 1957.
Inspired by Bob’s work in the transformation of children, World Vision Philippines expanded to different provinces in the country and gradually evolved from
