Through practical educational strategies our work is giving real hope to young people living in some of the poorest areas of the Philippines.
WELCOME TO AFFLIP
The Australian Foundation for Fostering Learning in the Philippines Inc. (AFFLIP) is a voluntary, non-government, not for profit Foundation based in South Australia. We have gift deductibility status through the Overseas Aid Gift Deduction Scheme. Our focus is on supporting the learning of students in poorly resourced schools which have a large number of educationally disadvantaged students. Currently we are working with 15 elementary public schools, with about 21,000 students, in Talomo District, Davao City, Mindanao.

OUR STRUCTURE
AFFLIP’s organisational structure comprises the following components:
AFFLIP Board is the decision-making body;
Talomo administrators (principals) led by their District Supervisors are based in Davao City and are the key advisory group to the board;
there are two main portfolio groupings - Flagship Programs and Administration and Finance; and
each Flagship Portfolio committee has a corresponding TWG in Talomo with which it jointly plans activities to address agreed priorities.
WHAT WE DO
Each Portfolio committee is headed by a Board member and comprises members of AFFLIP. The work of each committee is guided by the AFFLIP Strategic Plan 2023 - 2025 developed by the Board in association with the Administrators Group in Talomo. There are regular Portfolio committee reports at AFFLIP Board meetings on progress made.
