Kanlungan has been dealing with the fallout from the explosive growth of online sexual exploitation in the Philippines. Kanlungan estimate that over 90% of the children in their care have experienced some kind of online sexual exploitation. an Kanlungan operates in the metro-manila area in the Philippines, and runs projects covering: street education and child protection for street childrery 21P3ge

Kanlungan served 1,429 children across its residential care and communty-based work in 25 communities. Ststistics can never tell the transforming impact that Kanlungan's work can make. Ana's story below from Kanlungan's 'Arise and Shine- Report gives some insight into the transformational impact that is regularly achieved. When Ana (not her real name) arrived at Kanlungan. she carried burdens no child should ever face. Loss, neglert and forced responsibility had tsken away her childhood. At Kanlungan. Ana found safety, care, and faith. Slowly, her confidence grew. Once shy and afraid. she now goes to school wtth determination and joy eager to learn and to share her knowledge with her younger siblings. Her joumey is still unfolding, but one truth is clear. Ana's life is no longer shaped by negle¢ but by hope. Through love. guidance, and prayer, she is leaming to dream ain. The grants made to Kanlungan are largely unrestricted to cover the core staffing costs of the organisation, as well as utilities and food forthe children. Streetlight trustees ensure that the wblic benefit stated in the Trusvs objects are being achieved in several ways. The prime means is from visits to see Kanlungan's projects in action. In 2025. Trustees vislted Kanlungan wth three groups.. one in January and tsyo in April Imay. Trustees also kept in contsct with Kanlungan via online attendance at staff devotions, and regular online and telephone communication. The Chair of Streetlight, lan HerberL remains a member of the Board of Trustees at Kanlungan. The twstees are very conscious of the impact of climate change. especialty on the world'5 poorest people, and now has a policy to carbon offset air travel. This will be done by any travellers to the Philippines on Streetlight business. The carbon offset money is being used to fvnd projects at Kanlungan thatwill reduce cartrKJn emissions. The trustees are extremely grateful to all Streetlighys supporters. Thanks to modern technology we are able to bring our supporters into contact with the staff team at Kanlungan. 31Page
