WELCOME TO AFFLIP

AFFLIP is an Australian charity with DGR status

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 deductability 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.
