Our House of Amazing Grace

A Loving & Family Like Environment

Our House of Amazing Grace is a non-governmental organization and a social work agency implementing a residential-based program and services for orphaned, abandoned, neglected, and surrendered children (boys and girls) aged 0 to 6 years old.

Our primary goal is to provide our children with parental care, education, and a better environment for their growth and development – all with unconditional love.

Our Heart felt expression

Gratitude & Faith

House of Amazing Grace is a heartfelt expression of gratitude and faith toward God by its founder, Loreta Alfonso. At the tender age of four, Loreta experienced a near-death encounter due to a severe illness. During that time, she lived in poverty.

Reflecting on her life, Loreta tells us:

“Had it not of God’s unmerited love (grace) and his compassion (mercy), I wouldn’t be here today to testify to God’s goodness”.

Through the initiative and passion of Loreta V. Alfonso and Antonio Fernando M. Alfonso, a Canadian Filipino citizen, to serve disadvantaged children, the institution was established on August 29, 2023. It was officially registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Registration No. CN-20230880114111-14) on the same date and subsequently registered and licensed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office IV-A on January 25, 2024.

Our children's home, registered under the Securities and Exchange Commission, extends its services throughout the Municipality of San Jose, with a vision to reach the entire province of Batangas and the CALABARZON
region, Philippines.

We are already on our way

Our numbers show how our mission remains steadfast in providing a safe and nurturing environment for children in need, ensuring their best interests and future well-being.

From early 2024 to now:

  • We successfully reintegrated or transferred four children:
    • One child was reunited with their family following a positive Parental Capability Assessment.
    • Two children (aged 7 and 13) were relocated to specialized facilities suited for their age group
    • One child was transferred to a child placement agency to facilitate the adoption process.
  • We currently have three children under our care, living a "family" life in our home and receiving continuous holistic support through our intervention programs.

A child’s story

This child, barely taking their first steps, was abandoned in a mud house. Their journey from those desperate, mud-covered moments to our House, included a few months in hospitals. walking when they were abandoned in a mud house. At our House, this once-starving child remembered how to laugh and gained their health. They even began to learn English, greeting every visitor with a warm ”hello” and sending them off with a cheerful ”see you later”.

A child’s story

This tiny baby was abandoned right after being born. But, with the grace of God, kind strangers found them fast. In their fragile early days, our House gave them everything they needed to survive: food, medical attention and loads of love. We gave them a shot at life.
