PAG-AMOMA is a Visayan word that means “to nurture.” We are a Christian faith-based organization of families committed to a mission for the development of children and families at the margins. This is a lifetime perpetual act of thanksgiving for all that we are and all that we have after surviving life under Martial Law in the Philippines.
Organized in 1984, PAG-AMOMA adheres to interfaith, multi stakeholders, multi pronged development programs with the CHILD as the convergence of all services. We are a DSWD licensed local foundation for children and families.
Our Children’s Place is unique compared to other orphanages here in Davao because we are the only ones who are caring for the indigenous children of Davao. All of our children who stay here are coming from the different tribes living in the mountains of Marilog, 27-30 km hike from the city. There are no proper roads to these places.
