Bagong Kulturang Pinoy NY is a nonprofit organization empowering children in distressed areas in the Philippines. BKP-NY aims to establish a reading culture among Filipino children to open opportunities for better economic, social, and civic lives.
We establish libraries in daycare centers, schools, and community centers in impoverished communities throughout the Philippines to make books accessible to children. These collections are refreshed and expanded with regular additions. It takes more than access to books to inspire children to become habitual readers, however, so we train teachers and other community volunteers in read-aloud strategies and reading methodologies.
BKP is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, based in Massachusetts branching out to New York.
