As we look forward to future collaborations in 2026
Very happy to have all three badges for GlobalGiving.
“GlobalGiving performs rigorous due diligence on every organization in the GlobalGiving community in order to ensure they are performing charitable work in a transparent and accountable manner, and that they meet local requirements for registration with their local government.
We collect and review documentation for every organization, including its legal documents, financial records, program materials, and lists of senior staff and board members, in order to validate that the organization is running the project as described. We also evaluate the organization's capacity to implement activities, and communicate about its work, and we research the organization's relationship with previous funders. Finally, we ensure that the organization is compliant with anti-terror guidelines and international guidelines for philanthropy.
Once they've been vetted and added to the GlobalGiving community, each organization is required to submit quarterly project reports, including activities, accomplishments and results of the project to-date. These reports are emailed to donors and publicly available on the project page so supporters can see how their donation is being used and what progress has been made. We also conduct a thorough due diligence renewal on all organizations every two years.
Beyond what's required for participation in the GlobalGiving community, our nonprofit partners have the opportunity to share extra information about the effectiveness of their work. Organizations can share information about how they listen to their stakeholders, test out new ideas, and improve their programs and services based on what they learn from data and feedback.”
Today we celebrate National Students' Day, honoring the power of education to transform lives!
At YouMeWe NPO, we believe every student deserves someone who shows up for them. For 17 years, our incredible volunteers have been doing exactly that - empowering youth in institutional care through education support that opens doors to brighter futures.
From English exam preparation to career guidance, our volunteers are making a real difference. Every week, dedicated tutors connect online from Japan to Manila, providing consistent support and encouragement. Just last week, volunteers showed up on a national holiday to help students at St. Francis prepare for their English exams - because when you're helping raise children, showing up is simply the right thing to do.
These aren't just tutoring sessions - they're lifelines of hope, building confidence and skills that will serve these young people long after they age out of care at 18.
Your time creates lasting impact. Whether you can volunteer for weekly online classes or occasional exam prep sessions, you become part of a village that believes in these students' potential.
Ready to show up for a student who needs you? Sign up for our volunteer opportunities today and join a community that's been consistently changing lives for nearly two decades. Visit youmewenpo.org or email [email protected] to get started.
Because it takes a village - and every student deserves to know their village cares.

Take a look at these awesome Spider-Man drawings created by the children from SOS Village Philippines at our Programming class on Sunday, October 26th!
This creativity reminds us of a fundamental truth: Every superhero needs a champion. Think of Spider-Man and Aunt May, or Superman and
the Kents. A crucial, caring adult provided support and helped them discover
their inner strength.
Our mission is to be that consistent, caring adult, helping these bright young minds unlock their own superpowers.
Every hero has a guide. Every child deserves a champion.

Very thankful to Ichijiku for being a sponsor of our Gala October 15th.
They will have their beautiful garments on display and the 特定非営利活動法人You Me We NPO team visited to be fitted for their Gala outfits....
We are always grateful when volunteers take time to come visit the souls 特定非営利活動法人You Me We NPO support.
This week Saya Nomura and QuHarrison paid a visit and brought baseballs for the children and autographed them.
We then moved to assemble robots, which were donated by Goodera.
The robots were disassembled on purpose. At first the children wondered, "What is the assignment"..then "OH NO, they are broken" and then it sunk in....we need to reassemble to play with these and the teamwork fell into place.
By the end of the night the robots were brought to life.
