About Us
A bridge between two nations
Forty years of dedication to the children of the Philippines, from the heart of Luxembourg.
Our Mission
We believe every child deserves the chance to write their own future.
The Philippines–Luxembourg Society (PLS asbl) was founded in 1985 by a small group of Luxembourg residents who shared a deep affection for the Philippines and a conviction that meaningful change begins with education.
Forty years on, that conviction has grown into a movement: hundreds of scholarships funded, twelve schools built, countless families supported through humanitarian crises — all carried by volunteers, members and a community of generous donors who believe, as we do, in the dignity of every child.
We work without political affiliation, without religious agenda, and with full transparency. Every euro entrusted to us is accounted for and put to work where it matters most: in the hands of teachers, in the books of students, in the walls of schools that will outlast us all.
