    Welcome Home Foundation, Inc. was born from the dream of a few people who had a vision of a home where differently-abled children would live together as a family and have the opportunity to go to special education schools here in Bacolod City. Principally, it is a home for children who are hearing-impaired and live outside the city. The residence also serves as a center where all the Deaf can meet together.

     
Why the Name "Welcome Home?"

    
In our home all who wish to visit us are always welcome. It is also a way of welcoming our Deaf brothers and sisters back into the society. For such a long time, they have been pitied instead of being respected and accepted. In "Welcome Home" we have Deaf children and youth who help each other overcome their handicap. Hence, Welcome Home is not an institution but a true home. They do have differences among themselves just like any other family. But like any other family, before retiring to bed at night, they come together to pray that God will help them to be a true Welcome Home Family.

 
     A self-reliant Welcome Home, specializing in the education of the Deaf towards their living harmoniously with their families and in the hearing world, and with the guidance of God, evolving into a center of education for the Deaf in the Visayas and Mindanao.
 
     Our mission is to enhance the curriculum for an educational system for the Deaf in a building equipped with state of the art technology, and to come up with caring and competent professionals who will work toward achieving this vision.

     This system will encompass Elementary and High School levels as well as vocational course, giving special consideration to adult education for unschooled Deaf.
