The Foundlings
Empowering Orphans. Creating Futures.
A STORY OF HOPE, HEART, AND TRANSFORMATION
Thrown away in a shoebox at birth and adopted from a Philippines orphanage, Sammy "Shoebox Moses" Taggett understands the profound impact of love, education, and opportunity. This deeply personal journey ignited Sammy’s mission to empower orphaned youth in the Philippines, leading to the creation of The Foundlings — a nonprofit dedicated to providing educational and creative learning platforms to children who need it the most.
OUR MISSION
The Foundlings believes that every child deserves the chance to create a meaningful life and build a future of self-sufficiency. With an estimated 1.8 million orphans in the Philippines today, we are committed to offering resources and opportunities that will help these young individuals rise beyond their circumstances and achieve long-term success.
Through education, creative learning programs, and mentorship, we’re providing the tools these children need to build independence, dignity, and hope for a brighter future.
