The Tuloy Foundation, Inc. is a Philippine charitable organization focused on the marginalized youth. It was founded in 1993 by Marciano G. Evangelista of the Salesians of Don Bosco. History The Tuloy Foundation was founded in 1993 by Salesian priest Rocky Evangelista in a small room at the St. John Bosco Parish Compound in Makati, Metro Manila with 12 children under its care. Evangelista after a meeting with his religious order, the Salesians of Don Bosco where he committed to head a project for street children, established a center with 10 lay volunteers. He also coordinated with researchers from the University of the Philippines to learn to organize programs and services for children. Envangelista envisioned a Streetchildren Village which would cater to a more larger population. Two years later, Tuloy received funding to construct a 3.5-storey building within the compound in Makati. The new building had complete facilities including dorms, study area, dining room, and kitchen. It was able to accommodate up to 130 children at a time. With the help and approval of the Department of Education, Tuloy designed a curriculum especially for street children. In 1997, Tuloy opened a school able to accommodate a maximum of 230 students. In 2001, Tuloy moved to a 4.5-hectare Streetchildren Village in Alabang, Muntinlupa leased from the Department of Social Welfare and Development. Social programs Tuloy Foundation organizes various programs catered to street children and other marginalized youth. As a residential care institution, it also provides shelter to children in its dormitories each with its own "head of house" who serves as a parental figure to the dormitories' resident children. Education The Tuloy Foundation offers a non-traditional curriculum for the youth approved by the Department of Education. It uses Alternative Learning System (ALS) modules for its education program. Sports Tuloy is also involved in football and futsal. Many of its youth were part of the Philippines' squad for the Homeless World Cup and Street Child World Cup. Some were part of the Philippine youth national football teams for both boys and girls, and some members of the defunct United Football League, which was the top-flight football league in the country. Tuloy also fielded a team in the PFF Women's League through Tuloy F.C.. The foundation also has its own artificial football pitch, known as the XO Field for Extraordinary Kids, and a futsal center at its Tuloy sa Don Bosco branch. Affiliations
