Partners
Kids Delightful Grounds Foundation, Inc. (KDG)
Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, Philippines
KDG is a non-government organization in the Philippines whose mission is to help the homeless, abandoned and vulnerable children and improve their quality of life, which aligns well with KRIS’s mission. Similarly, KDGFI is led and run by dedicated volunteers. Since 2016, the KRIS and KDG entered into a working partnership and have since accomplished many humanitarian projects. Most notable project to date is the KIDS-KRIS Campus (Phase 1) , an orphange facility in the Philippines. The KDG staff manages and supports the day-to-day operations of the facility and ensures compliance to government policies and regulations. In addition, they provide the logistical support for the biennial Lift Up the Orphans mission trips, oversee the implementation of the KRIS SmileCare Project and support any other KRIS initiatives and outreaches. KRIS truly values its partnership with KDG.

Cansilayan Elemantary School
Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, Philippines
Our very first local elementary school partner where we implemented Oral Hygiene Education for children through KRIS SmileCare. The “Happy Smiles Monday” is a school gathering that happens once a month where continuing education, motivational, monitoring and follow-up activities are presented and/or shared. The teachers have been very proactive, motivating children to brush and floss their teeth twice daily at school. Cansilayan Elementary School is an innovative and award-winning school in the Philippines. We are happy to pilot this Oral Hygiene Education project with them which we hope to see grow into a national program. Recently, KRIS donated two additional washing stations to the school for the children’s daily sanitation and brushing/flossing sessions.
Hyun S. Bang, DDS
San Francisco, CA, USA
Hyun S. Bang, DDS is a regular supporter and sponsor of KRIS SmileCare and Lift Up the Orphans biennial mission trips. The owner, Dr. Hyun Bang, is a philanthropist and missionary. The clinic provides the KRIS Foundation with oral hygiene supplies while Dr. Bang develops and implements education programs for kids and teachers. Recently, Dr. Hyun Bang redesigned and launched a brand new KRIS website in August 2020, with a theme of uplifting positivity. It is the same theme as her clinic’s website, newly designed also by Dr. Bang, with the wish to give her patients who are attempting to return to normalcy after the COVID-19 shutdown, a moment of joy and hope.
Mochenwa School / Geta SDA Church
Keroka, Kenya
In June 2019, KRIS Foundation worked in partnership with the Geta SDA Church to provide an onsite clean water source for the Mochenwa Secondary Boarding School. The lives of the students at the school (and its neighborhood) have since vastly improved with the availability of water on campus. Because they no longer have to walk a long distance to fetch water, the students have more time to prepare for school everyday, thus, improving learning outcomes.
Village of Hope Orphanage (VOH)
Talibon, Bohol, Philippines
VOH provides orphan care in families. KRIS Foundation took inspiration from VOH’s orphan family care model. KRIS and VOH have had an enduring friendship over the years. KRIS not only provides support for the VOH children but also partners with them in responding to natural disasters such as the Haiyan tsunami and Bohol earthquake that struck the Philippines. KRIS Foundation also supports VOH's local community outreach projects.
We thank these volunteer organizations for providing valuable services to KRIS Foundation:

AECOM, Philippines
Philippines
AECOM is the world's premier infrastructure firm with a strong commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). A key feature of AECOM's CSR is to budget volunteer hours for its employees to help in projects and activities that improve people's lives.

AECOM volunteer professional design services resulted in savings of tens of thousands of dollars for the KRIS Campus project.
