Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Agricultural Cooperative
This will organize 250 small rice farmers into a cooperative that will increase their economic potential as producers and employers by providing them with central facilities for supplies, equipment, and storage as well as technical, marketing, sales, training and economic support. This project will create some 2,500 farm jobs, and revive Philippines rice production for local markets and possibly exports.
Job Training & Vocational School
The objective of this project is to provide education and job skills to the poor so that they may secure a paying jobs through the Sponsor’s Job Placement program and improve their economic condition and move up from the ranks of the poor.
Children Village
The objective of this project is to create two such villages, where each village would:
o House, dress, feed, and educate 120 street orphans, aged 0 to 18
o Create at least 30 staff jobs.
o Provide hands on training in modern agricultural methods
o Sell food products to cover operating expenses and needs,
The Sponsor will promote orphanages that provide a family living atmosphere for boys and girls in groups of 10 per family and some age spread within the family unit. The house parents and their family, if any, are screened, selected, and monitored. The parents receive a monthly stipend of $400 as well as living quarters and food staples.
Cooperative Housing
The objective of this project is to move the poor and homeless out of the streets and shanty towns and into healthy cooperative apartment housing as soon as they secure an income to pay the monthly fees for operations and maintenance.
This phase will provide housing for about 24,000 people in 6 settlements of 1000 housing units that will be developed on land owned by the Sponsor to become a neighborhood extension of each town, with its own support facilities, which will include a health clinic, schools, neighborhood shops, landscaped areas, and playgrounds. The neighborhood will depend upon the town administration for maintenance of street and open areas, as well as for connection to central utilities for power, communications, potable water, and for waste water collection, treatment, and disposal.
Apartments will be available in 4 story walk ups as one and two bedroom units with a total area of 50 and 65 sq. m. Each unit will be provided with a kitchen area and a shower type bathroom. Common laundry facilities will be provided at roof level, which will be flat with a perimeter parapet and laundry cloth lines.
Each building will be operated as a cooperative owned by the residents of every unit that will own a respective share of the entire building and be responsible to pay monthly fees or operation and maintenance and the establishment of a reserve fund for unforeseen expenses and future refurbishment needs.
Development costs are estimated at $54-Million. These include design and construction and house furnishing and startup expenses. Operating and maintenance cost of the apartment buildings will be covered by collection of monthly fees from the occupants. Operating and maintenance costs of the neighborhood will be covered by the local town administration
Hospital

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Today we are getting ready to launch the following:eLearning for Adults for both US and Philippines which will help Adults improve their job performance which will take them to the higher pay they deserve which in turn will result to better job satisfaction and business improvement. The kids k-12 eLearning will also be launched sometime in October. We have different public schools that are signing up for the service to help improve quality of education during and after school. Our founder is in the process of locking in more local jobs from her resources which will build 3 factories where the foundation becomes the exclusive supplier of manpower and training services so that all workers are set to roll fast upon start of employment. The Employment services and computer training school are ongoing but not yet merged under the umbrella of the foundation due to lack of funds. All other programs (Healthcare, Microfinance, Agricultural, Cooperative, Children Village) are also waiting for funding. There is one interest from an NGO to fund our Phase and a few more inquiry from other firms who is considering funding current programs but no one has come through with the funding yet so we are launching small projects that we are able to get funding from other efforts.
