The Campaign

Why 100 Schools

Mental health support shouldn’t be a privilege. The Philippines is at a critical moment in education and mental health. Campuses face a growing need for human presence, peer connection, and early intervention.

Students Talk to Students

Students often speak first to fellow students—not professionals. Peer presence is the first line of support.

Early Intervention Matters

Early support can prevent escalation into crisis. Timely peer connection saves lives and futures.

Scalable Solutions Needed

Schools need sustainable, culture-based solutions that grow with the community— not one-time programs.

Empowering students, one school at a time.

PROJECT DAVID responds to this gap by transforming students from bystanders into bridges of support.

What is PROJECT DAVID?
