Inspired from the teaching of Jesus, pamayanan or community leaders are molded through experiential learning or apostleship by relating humanity and Christian values. Building Peoples' Organization (PO) is an enabling mechanism so that people become the primary stakeholders of their own lives.
support our mission
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and improve conditions of the homeless and the vulnerable.
Care for the Homeless
Care for the Homeless is the main and overarching advocacy of the Foundation. Homelessness is still one of the major issues in the Philippines left largely at a loose end despite having shelter as a pivotal factor in a person’s development. The Vincentian Foundation ventured into different initiatives in addressing this in partnership with local communities willing to take-up responsibilities in developing a community-driven land acquisition and development program.
Land Acquisition
In this advocacy, people’s participation is crucial; from identifying the land, managing savings mobilization systems, negotiating with landowners, documentation, partnerships and so on.
Home Development
The construction of houses goes beyond the infrastructure. This highlights the interplay of the people's initiatives through savings and various support from experts, agencies, donors and more.
Community Mortgaging Program
This is an existing strategies we employ in partnership with the government and construction firms or companies through philanthropic initiatives.
