Education, Ministry, and Outreach for the Filipino Deaf
Education, Ministry, and Outreach for the Filipino Deaf
The Welcome Home Foundation, Inc. (WHFI) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization serving the Deaf people of the Philippines. With facilities in the Visayas and Mindanao, we are supporting our Deaf brothers and sisters in three main ways: education, ministry, and outreach.
We are on the forefront of education during the national transition to Filipino Sign Language (FSL); not only helping the deaf become skilled workers and students, but also assisting in the development of a stronger community and culture that the Filipino Deaf can call their own.
While the Deaf hear less, they do more... and so we welcome them into our hearts, and our home.
Our educational offerings include the Welcome Home Foundation Inc School, the Welcome Home Preschool for the the Deaf, Malaybalay, the post-high school Learning and Development Program (LD), agricultural training, and sign language instruction courses for adult hearing and Deaf learners.
Since our humble beginnings, the Catholic faith has guided us in all aspects of our work. We continue to spread values education, catechism, and the Gospel through Special Religious Education for the Deaf (SPRED), signed Mass interpretation, and Special Education high school programs.
Advocacy for the Deaf is our top priority. We operate training centers that equip individuals with marketable skills, a strong work ethic, and entrepreneurial spirit. Beyond training, we forge direct hiring partnerships with local companies to open doors to meaningful employment. For those pursuing college, we provide financial aid guidance and interpretive support to ensure our students can thrive in college and beyond.
