Our mission
Project GREENLIGHT is implemented by ChildFund Philippines with REINA Federation of Parents Associations, Inc., with local government/DENR partners in Infanta, Quezon Province, within the ecological region of the Sierra Madre mountain range. The initiative responds to forest and watershed degradation that heightens flood and climate risks for local children, youth, families, and communities, thereby positioning youth-led ecosystem restoration as a practical strategy for climate resilience.
The project focuses on youth-led watershed protection and biodiversity conservation through nursery establishment, indigenous species propagation, and tree growing in priority watershed areas (including Gumian and Magsaysay). Children and youth actively participate through Eco‑Scouts, school‑linked environmental education, eco‑camps, advocacy, and hands‑on restoration actions, thereby strengthening stewardship and community ownership and intergenerational knowledge transfer of local land stewardship.

Project GREENLIGHT is strengthening local next-generation leadership in healthy forests and watershed restoration, aiming to support not only nature but also child wellbeing, safety, and resilience. Early results include nursery establishment and indigenous seedling production, youth‑led stewardship through Eco‑Scouts, and integration of watershed protection and soil conservation priorities into local planning, supporting reduced climate risk and more resilient livelihoods for families living on the frontlines of multiple climate impacts from extreme weather events and water scarcity.
