The education program of Kapatiran-Kaunlaran Foundation Inc. (KKFI) is a dynamic, community-based initiative that brings inclusive, holistic, and child-centered education to underserved children and youth. It is designed to reach those who are often excluded from traditional systems—children from informal settlements, urban poor areas, and communities affected by displacement, poverty, or disaster.

Grounded in the values of justice, compassion, and community empowerment, the program supports early childhood education, non-formal learning, values formation, and community engagement through creative and locally grounded approaches. It aims to build a nurturing learning environment where every child and learner is seen, supported, and celebrated.

The Children’s Development Program aims to promote inclusive, holistic and community-based learning for children in vulnerable and marginalized communities in Manila and Bulacan. The programs are anchored on the values of accessibility, equity and lifelong learning, addressing the diverse needs of learners from early childhood to adolescence and adulthood.

ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM (ALS)

In partnership with DepEd and public schools in various areas of  Manila and Bulacan, the ALS program aims to provide inclusive access to education for out-of-school children, youth and adults and other vulnerable and marginalized groups. The program is aligned with the DepEd’s ALS  Curriculum and enhanced by values formation, life skills development ensuring a holistic approach to lifelong learning. 

It includes: 

• Basic and functional literacy;
• Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) classes;
• Life skills, values formation, and livelihood integration;
• Care group and psycho-social support sessions;
• and Community Engagement.

The ALS program ensures no learner is left behind, helping participants gain foundational education, life competencies and pathways back to formal education or employment.
