Our Story: A Legacy of Love and Service

100 Children is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by the Perez Family, rooted in the heart of the Philippines. In 2007, Dante J. Perez and Grace Perez began a mission to support the children and families of Alupaye, a small village they cared for deeply.

​

With a vision anchored in faith and service, Dante purchased land in the community and donated it to the people so families could have a place to live and grow. He went on to build a church, a community center, and a basketball court, creating safe spaces where children could learn, play, and belong.

​

Grace, with her friends, visited the community weekly—bringing meals, sharing the Word of God, and providing encouragement to families in need.

​

Although Dante and Grace are no longer with us, their legacy lives on through their children, who continue to champion their parents’ mission. Today, 100 Children organizes regular feeding missions, medical outreaches, and support programs to help children thrive physically, spiritually, and academically.

From one child to the next, our purpose remains the same:
to serve with compassion, love generously, and uplift Filipino families.
