Virlanie Foundation Philippines

Virlanie was founded in 1992 by Dominique Lemay, a French social worker, in partnership with Filipinos. Since that time, Virlanie has looked after more than 17,000 children in Metro Manila. Virlanie bases its dozens of projects and support services on two main programs: residential, and outreach.

Virlanie believes that it is in the best interest of all our children that they are placed back into a family structure as soon as possible. This can be done through reunification with their family, through adoption support program, or by putting them in a foster family in our residential programs.

Virlanie is a strong supporter of the children’s Right to Education and their Right to have a Family. As an organization, we are committed to answering the needs of the children in our care to the best of our intellectual, emotional, and organizational capabilities.
