Brief History
In 1993, pursuant to the partnership between the YMCAs of Saitama and Pangasinan, then YMCA Pangasinan General Secretary Edlario E. Campos was invited to Japan to attend a Staff Exchange Program.
During one of the dinner discussions at the house of then YMCA Saitama Executive Director Akira Futagoishi where he was graciously hosted together with Holy Rosary College Instructor Ramoncito Depusoy, views were shared about the less fortunate children in the Philippines, particularly street children.
They believed that a better world can be achieved by providing a home for them. It was their resolution that a foundation be established in the Philippines to address this concern.
Thus, on January 18,1998, with the inspiring leadership of then Saitama YMCA General Secretary Akira Futagoishi, and with the dynamism of Pangasinan YMCA Directors Edlario Campos, Lawyer Clarence G. Decano, Engineer Joseph G. Lo, Dagupan City Assessor Jose Sanchez, and Pangasinan YMCA General Secretary Maria Cristina A. Dalope, the Caring for the Future Foundation was incorporated under Securities and Exchange Commission Registration No. B 199800089 while its license to operate the Center was granted by the Department of Social Welfare and Development on July 02, 2001 with license no. 014.
Several facilities were constructed through work camps which started in 1998 with the active participation of Japanese youths and Pangasinan YMCA college-Y’ers. This paved the way for more developments in the CFF compound.
The Caring for the Future Foundation envisions to be of service to more underprivileged children. Let us continue caring for our children – our future.
OUR OBJECTIVES:
1) To establish a home for underprivileged children (particularly street children) such as abandoned, neglected or abused, and provide them with basic necessities (food, clothing, shelter and education).
2) To promote physical, mental, social and spiritual welfare and development of the children and to emphasize reverence for God.
