SMOKEY TOURS BY BLESS THE CHILDREN…
Please check this link to book slum tours.
We still wish to bring societal change in our communities, either small or on a much larger scale. It is a huge goal, and we work in small steps. It is not easy, and sometimes things go smoothly, sometimes not at all. We would still like to support.
We will keep on supporting people in underprivileged communities and Smokey Projects will do that. We would like to continue to empower, train and give livelihood to people from impoverished areas. We believe that through learning and taking the lead, others will follow. We would like to focus on several ethical aspects in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are putting our efforts in Talent Development and Livelihood through social inclusiveness and by supporting financial resilience.

ABOUT SMOKEY TOURS
OUR MISSION
Smokey Projects empowers, educates and trains people from underprivileged communities in Metro Manila by helping people who want to help themselves.
OUR VISION
Smokey Projects seeks to inspire people from all walks-of-life to become agents of positive change. We strive to help people to find their talents and be able to make positive changes in their own lifes first. We use the KISS-principle. We Keep It Simple Siempre.
OUR HISTORY
In January 2011, a photo tour was organized in Smokey Mountain. This ‘photo walk’ portrayed the way children live and play in the area of Tondo, specifically Baranggay 105 Sitio Damayan.
Twenty local photographers volunteered and donated their photographs. In the meantime, local talents from Baranggay 105 were discovered who told stories about their neighbourhoods with passion, pride and dignity. The idea of a special tour was born.
The founder started recruiting and coaching potential tour leaders. To professionally develop the tours at international standards, Smokey Tours tapped Chris Way - founder of (Reality Tours & Travel), an outfit that was already offering slum tours in India, who readily and graciously flew over and lent a much needed helping hand.
The Smokey Mountain Tour was the first and only tour of its kind offered in the entire South East Asian region when it began. Smokey Mountain was Smokey Tours’ signature tour. The guests were mainly part of a network of acquaintances while the arrangements and planning were largely improvised. Since the start, all the profits made through the tours were donated to local NGOs in Barangay 105, where Smokey Mountain (an urban dumpsite) was located.
Smokey Tours doesnt offer any tours anymore since Covid-19 hit the world. Smokey Tours is now Smokey Projects. We just don’t want to stop helping others and continue to make positive changes on a small scale in simple and meaningful ways.
