Understanding the culture deepens our compassion and connection
The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,600 islands, home to 115 million people known for their extraordinary warmth, hospitality, and deep faith. Despite facing typhoons, poverty, and hardship, Filipinos are renowned for their joyful spirit and strong family bonds.
The concept of "Bayanihan" — a tradition of communal unity where neighbors help each other without expecting anything in return — is woven into the fabric of Filipino culture. When you volunteer with us, you become part of this beautiful tradition.
Over 90% Christian, faith is central to Filipino life. Families face illness with profound trust in God's plan.
Extended families live together, pooling resources. When a child is sick, the entire family sacrifices.
Despite hardship, Filipinos find reasons to smile and celebrate. Their resilience inspires our work.
Sharing meals is sacred. Our meal program honors this tradition by feeding both child and parent.
