WHO WE AREClassiKids is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 by teens from Manila, Philippines. Originally, our mission focused on engaging indigent children in classical forms of expression, particularly dance and visual arts, in order to empower them with its therapeutic effects to help address trauma and build trust in themselves. Over the years, we have evolved to cater to the needs of the community, adding a "Teach the Teachers" and a “Social Entrepreneurship” division. In Teach the Teachers, we teach Photoshop to public school teachers who do not have access to learning these skills. Through this program, these teachers can use their new abilities to create more engaging teaching materials as well as pass on their knowledge to their students, who otherwise would not have the opportunity to learn graphic design, an increasingly important skill in today's digital age. In Social Entrepreneurship, we support a family with starting and operating a new business while also positively impacting their community. Through this program, the family is able to receive helpful business insights to effectively run their new venture. The business is then used as a platform to increase awareness of health and well-being in the surrounding neighborhood. MEET OUR TEAMmandy quaFounder, Classikids Manila
