ChildFund Philippines, in collaboration with ChildFund Korea, is transforming digital learning environments in public elementary schools in Manila through its Pro-Digital LOOP Project by upgrading information and communication technology (ICT) facilities, providing training workshops to communities on safe digital practices, and supporting the development of national online child protection policies.

Launched in November 2023, the Pro-Digital LOOP Project addresses two critical challenges in the country’s education system: unequal access to technology and increasing online risks to children. Through partnerships with the Department of Education (DepEd) and GEMS Heart Outreach Development Inc., the project is establishing inclusive and tech-enabled classrooms that promote safe, effective, and equitable learning experiences for all.

Marlene Floresca, Senior Education Specialist of ChildFund Philippines, emphasized that multi-sectoral partnerships allowed them to yield holistic impact of the initiative: “The project has transformed schools and homes by equipping them to better support children’s digital learning. Our approach not only provides technology but also strengthens safe digital literacy, ensuring that children can thrive academically and protect themselves online.”
