Call for submission of articles for AWCD members!


Do you have something to share with the network? A successful activity, an upcoming event, or a training opportunity?

Then we are calling upon AWCD member organizations to submit their articles for posting here at the AWCD blog!

Just follow the simple guidelines after the break:

KNH holds its Luzon Partner's Cluster Meeting

KNH recently held its Luzon Partner's Cluster Meeting last May 18-21 at the Raja Soliman Hotel in Baguio City. The said meeting was coordinated by the host partner, St. John Child Care Center.


Aside from the program and finance updates provided by Sir Peter and Mam Lolit, SHA meetings were also facilitated by Ms. Jia, and we welcomed the newest addition to the KNH Philippine Office, Ms. Sally.

As part of the capacity building initiatives of AWCD, two resource persons were invited to speak on two important topics.


Mr. Luis Morales of the Philippine Council for NGO Certification talked about the certification process for NGOs, and why one should be certified under PCNC.

Mr. Alex Hermoso also provided a talk about the intricacies of fund raising and resource mobilization, citing the experiences of PREDA.

With the majority of KNH supported partners entering into the consolidation phase, the need to discuss sustainability is a major and pressing issue now with these partners. The certification under PCNC and the pointers on resource mob provided by the two resource speakers, hopefully, has provided KNH partners, added insights on how to address the sustainability of their organizations.

The Alliance for Women and Children's Development

The Alliance for Women and Children is a network composed of non government organizations who have the conviction and passion on serving women and children.

These NGOs are all in partnership with Kindernothilfe (KNH) and started out as a loose network during the KNH Luzon cluster meetings.
