Cori Sutherland, Philippines Humanitarian Executive Director

I have known of the KKMK Foundation since 2015, when my family began sponsoring two students through Philippines Humanitarian. From the very beginning, I was so moved and impressed by the student communications we received. As someone who has worked in nonprofits in the United States, I knew just how much time and care it took to ensure that my family had a true connection with the girls we were supporting.

Since then, my involvement with Philippines Humanitarian has deepened, as I first became a member of the organization’s Board of Directors and then its Executive Director. As I more fully understood the KKMK Foundation’s work, I came to completely respect, admire, and trust their staff. Everyone there has both a heartfelt compassion for the people they serve, along with a straight-up professionalism and accountability. This combination accounts for the high student retention rate we see in our programs, and gives us complete confidence in their financial and program management. I am sincerely grateful for the KKMK Foundation’s partnership in our efforts to alleviate poverty through education.
