At DLP USA, every time you buy items marked with the Shop for a Cause seal, part of the proceeds will be donated to Nayon ng Kabataan (the village for youth).

Nayon ng Kabataan is a key project of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) that provides a home for the less fortunate children in Philippine society – especially those who have been abandoned, abused, exploited, and orphaned. But beyond offering shelter, Nayon ng Kabataan also provides a comprehensive program for the care, training and development of such children until they are reunited with their families or a more suitable home can be found for them.

Essentially, when you shop for a cause:

• You are contributing something – no matter how small an amount it may be – to help train, educate and rehabilitate children to become self-reliant and productive citizens;

• You are providing a temporary home to children in need of care and protection;

• You are setting an example for others that social responsibility is not just an single act of kindness, but a way of living; and

• You are giving hope to those who have lost faith in themselves and in other people.
