    We are thrilled to celebrate our 2024 #ORGImpactAwards Quality Education for All Winner AND .ORG of the Year, Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation. The Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation is a nonprofit organization in the Philippines that aims to provide access to education for children in remote and poverty-stricken areas by providing boats to reach their schools. The foundation's story began in 2010 when a group of friends learned about the struggles of children in a coastal community in the Zamboanga Peninsula who had to swim to get to school. The group decided to provide a yellow boat to these children so they could go to school safely and comfortably. Since then, the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation has expanded its reach to other parts of the Philippines, providing boats to children in various coastal communities and far-flung areas. The foundation's boats, which are painted bright yellow, not only serve as a means of transportation but also symbolize hope and a brighter future for the children. Since 2010, the foundation has been able to provide 5,241 boats, 13 school buildings, 5 dormitories, 2 bridges, 3 starter classrooms, 59 educational hubs, 4 Teach Anywhere chapters, and 3 community learning centers to a total of 127 adopted communities and 143 adopted public schools all over the Philippines.
