The Hesser Foundation is committed to eradicating illiteracy and delivering high-quality education to children. Through our child welfare initiative, we offer assistance and resources to underprivileged families, guaranteeing that every child has the opportunity to access top-notch education and the necessary resources for a prosperous future.
OUR MISSION
From the earliest days of our founding until now, a core pillar of The Hesser Foundations’ strategy has been working with trusted local networks of Filipino change makers who reliably see that foundation funds make it to the children who most desperately need it. Due to widespread corruption at all levels of government, volunteers pay each student's tuition directly to the school and give each student’s basic school supplies for the entire year.
Take a
Pledge!
Every $19.00 we receive will keep
one child in school for a year.
The Hesser Foundations’ in-country workforce are all volunteers, meaning every dollar collected goes directly to the child’s education.


Illiteracy IN the
Philippines
We live in a world filled with opportunity, but unfortunately, not everyone is able to take advantage of the same chances. The Hesser Foundation strives to change that by providing access to resources for those who need it most. Through the your generous donations, countless individuals have been given the opportunity to pursue their dreams and live a better quality of life.
For many children, poverty brings with it exposure to violent crime, drugs, trafficking, substance abuse, and hopelessness.

"The severe scarcity of books among filipino students is a serious crisis that must be addressed with urgency—with an immediate reallocation of public funds for the printing of books and the building of libraries."
Joel Ruiz Butuyan, Philippine Daily inquirer
"Because we are poor, my grandparents cannot afford to send us to school. My grandparents are fisherman and they are getting old. My parents broke up and they left us with nothing. I want to continue to go to school so I can help my brothers and sisters as well."

“This is one of my favorite foundations to donate to. All the proceeds go straight to children in need in the Philippines. Most foundations filter through a few companies that take a percentage…”

“I personally met with Michael Hesser today to find out more about what/how his foundation supports the children of the Philippines. A kind soul, softly spoken man with a generous heart is the only way I can describe him. What a great initiative and generous project!”
