Our Key Prioritiess

Clean Water & Safe Infrastructure

The foundation focuses on restoring natural spring waters, planting protective trees, and repairing abandoned artesian wells that have gone without maintenance since the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption. By building reliable water systems, communal toilets, and handwashing stations in schools and villages, the Aeta communities gain safer, healthier daily living conditions. Each household also receives durable containers to collect and store clean water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and growing food—turning basic access to water into a lifeline for survival and stability.

Child Health, Safety & Education Access

Improving children’s well-being begins with something as simple as providing slippers to prevent parasitic infections and allow young children to attend school safely. Through strong partnerships with local health and education agencies, the foundation works to eradicate parasitic diseases across Central Luzon by 2030. A significant part of this mission involves helping children born in remote areas obtain birth certificates, ensuring they can enroll in school and secure their right to a future. These efforts open the door for every Aeta child to grow up healthier, recognized, and educated.

Livelihoods, Farming & Reforestation

Sustainable farming and livestock programs help Aeta families rebuild their forests and strengthen their livelihoods. By supplying communities with seeds that produce economic value—such as root crops, beans, okra, and eggplant—the foundation supports long-term food security rather than short-term relief. Providing water buffaloes to women in the villages empowers them with ownership over vital resources that offer milk, labor for cultivation, fertilizer, and natural fuel. Together, these initiatives restore the land, improve nutrition, and create stable, community-led pathways out of poverty.
