Caritas is the social services and development ministry of the Archdiocese of Manila. Its programs and services are directed towards the total human development of the marginalized people and the promotion of social justice in the light of the Catholic Church's social teachings.

At the same time, CM is involved in national and even global issues such as AIDS pandemic and that of the environment. The measure of its performance lies in its contribution to the improvement in the quality of life of those marginalized

Caritas' dedicated service has manifested itself in the hundreds of families who have been able to sustain their daily needs, afford education for their children, have been given opportunities for employment.

We hope to see a network of Christ-centered faith communities where Jesus Christ is honored and worshipped and where people live with dignity and sufficiency in accordance with God’s plan for a just, humane, and caring society.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we join the Holy Spirit in God’s work of transforming lives and communities.

The yearning of UNAC members to assist upland NGOs in responding to the varied problems confronting them was concretized in June 1989. Ford Foundation undertook a quick survey of the existing NGOs that were working with farmers in the upland. Out of those surveyed, 35 organizations were initially identified as working specifically in areas pertaining to marketing, land tenure and agroforestry. After having verified the potential recipients of their assistance programs, UNAC was conceived as a small group composed of institutions with varying expertise. Dr. Frances Korten, then the Country Representative of the Ford Foundation, played a major role as facilitator of these beginnings.

In April 1990, the first UNAC Consultative Workshops was held in Cebu City. It succeeded in gathering together and conferring with the selected NGOs. It was an exercise in trying to determine what these NGOs were doing, what their needs and problems were, and in what possible ways UNAC could respond. The output of the said workshop allowed UNAC to develop a framework which tried to match the distinctive competence of the lead institutions with those of the needs raised by the participating NGOs. Specific activities were subsequently undertaken by member institutions following the framework adopted by the group.

Assisi Development Foundation, Inc. is duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-stock, non-profit corporation. It was issued a Certificate of Incorporation on July 3, 1975. The Corporation was founded to undertake projects to address the needs and problems of the poor. Its major concerns are in the areas of agricultural food production (sustainable agriculture-learning farms and installations of water system), education of the youth, emergency disaster humanitarian operations in Mindanao, assistance to indigenous people, health/hospitalization assistance, values education, community building and spiritual development. ADFI is tax-exempt by virtue of its registration as a science foundation with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) as a donee institution with the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The Foundation is headed by Ambassador Howard Q. Dee as the president and is staffed by fourteen (14) full-time personnel,, three (3) of whom are project based.

The Asian Women in Co-operative Development Forum (AWCF), set up in 1990, is a resource center and advocacy body on gender and co-operatives in Asia. Its members in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam are national co-op organizations and non-government organizations (NGOs) that promote co-operatives.

AWCF functioned initially as an informal, collaborative forum among its founding organizations. It promoted gender awareness among these organizations' female and male leaders, staff, and members so as to enable them to pursue the thrusts of AWCF. Three years after it was founded, AWCF adopted its present organizational form and objectives.

AWCF was organized amid the awareness that gender inequalities exist in co-operatives, particularly on how co-op principles and values are put into practice. AWCF was built on the strong belief that co-ops, by their very nature as people-based and democratically run and managed socioeconomic institutions, have the values, the infrastructure and the resources (with their strong financial base) to bring about gender equality, gender equity, improved gender relations, and improved condition of the economically and socially disadvantaged, of whom many are women.

In its many years of existence, AWCF has acquired vast expertise and resources in addressing gender issues in and through co-op structures. Together with this build-up of its competencies comes the realization for AWCF that the co-op movement now faces more and newer challenges and roles to do in a swiftly changing, globalizing world. Today, more than ever, co-operatives must tap all avenues to strengthen themselves and to enhance and maintain their relevance.

Eco-Life Foundation is dedicated to its mission of protecting the Philippine ecosystems through its Rainforest Conservation Convergence (RCC) strategy -- an innovative concept that ensures accountable, participatory, socially rewarding and financially-viable rainforest conservation. This strategy has three (3) vital and interrelated components, namely: 1) Treebank; 2) Eco-products and; 3) Eco-education. The synergistic output and impact of this strategy is only possible if these three (3) elements are present and are dialectically interrelated with one another.

Taking on a challenge of a size and magnitude as rainforest conservation requires a wholistic and scientific approach. The Rainforest Conservation Convergence (RCC) strategy underscores the need for creative interplay of treebanking, ecology-friendly business enterprises and experiential people's education in order to succeed in genuine rainforest conservation.

Using part of the proceeds from our Protect-A-Hectare Program and other ecology-friendly business undertakings, our Foundation is committed to providing the annual funding requirements of rainforest conservation in the Zambales Rainforest. The Foundation combines the best aspects, principles and practices of a non-for-profit foundation and eco-conscious mission of an environmental NGO with a socially-responsible, for profit-company.

After more than eleven years of experience in humanitarian and sustainable development work, the Foundation has developed this Rainforest Conservation Convergence (RCC) ---with invaluable lessons and successes.

Hart, a kind-hearted retired American soldier who came to the Philippines with the 3rd Cavalry.

began with a small group of individuals who decided to get together to protest against nuclear testing at Amchitka, off the west coast of Alaska. They went on to form GREENPEACE and later initiated campaigns on major environmental issues. One of the founding principles of GREENPEACE is to "bear witness" - that is to watch and record environmental destruction. This principle of direct action together with peaceful confrontation, has been the cornerstone of GREENPEACE's campaigns.

Southeast Asia is of enormous significance to the future of the planet earth. The rich natural heritage of the region is worth protecting in its own right. However, the staggeringly rapid industrialization and economic growth of the past 30 years has come at a huge environmental cost. The environmental impacts of the region also stretch beyond their own national boundaries. Severe environmental degradation already exists across Southeast Asia. Apart from the recent Asian financial crisis, pollution and resources destruction are further intensifying as multinational companies and industrialized nations target the region for the expansion of their environmentally destructive operations and technologies. Reinforcing these problems is the lack of awareness among the Asian public about environmental destruction and weak democratic mechanisms to empower communities to influence decisions. Recognizing the importance of the developmental potential and threats in these areas, and in order to consolidate and expand its campaign work in Southeast Asia, Greenpeace is increasing its activities in the region.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

            PBE believes that business, together with government and the public, has the social
    responsibility to protect the environment. PBE will assist business to carry out this responsibility
    through its role as:

· an intermediary between business, together with government and the community, in establishing reasonable standards and policies that reflect balance between the country's economic goals and environmental concerns;

· an educator advocating sound corporate environmental values and promoting the search for sufficient and affordable environmental technology;

· a catalyst in industry and community cooperation towards sustainable development and responsible resource management; and

· a data bank of environmental resources that can be tapped by the business sector.

            WASTE EXCHANGE is a process whereby the waste of an industry may be utilized
      in-house or transferred to another industry for reuse or recycling. The ultimate goal of the waste
      exchange is to reduce environmental impacts from industrial waste disposal while generating
      economic returns through the promotion of resource recovery from industrial waste.

· To establish a sustainable trade information system for companies to publish their inventory of by-products that might be useful to others or their need for specific materials that might be a by-product of others.

· To provide information to the industrial sector on the economics of waste exchange, i.e. waste generators must not spend much resources in waste treatment if there are demands for their waste,

            PBE was commissioned by UNDP under its joint project with the Philippine government
      called Private Sector Participation in Managing the Environment (PRIME) Project to consolidate
      the various medium and long-term initiatives of industry associations into an integrated plan to be
      called Philippine Business Agenda 21.

            Business Agenda 21 or BA21 reflects the business sector’s response to Philippine Agenda
      21 which provides the broad vision and implementing strategies and parameters for sustainable
      development in the country. BA21 is a consolidated plan specifically developed by the business
      sector consistent with and in support of Philippine Agenda 21.

Founded in 1952. It traces its roots to China where, in the early 1900s, the rural reconstruction movement was born, inspired and led by Dr. Y. C. James Yen "Yen Yangchu".

PRRM, a movement committed to the caused of the Filipino peasant, began as a small group of prominent Filipinos led by Dean Conrado Benitez of the University of the Philippines.

Over the past five decades, PRRM has made a number of major contributions to Philippine rural development. It pioneered a whole era or rural development and local democracy in the country. PRRM was the first NGO to send its workers to the villages to implement its integrated, fourfold program of education, livelihood, health, and self-governance. PRRM pioneered the establishment of an elected barrio government. Today's Barangay Council can be claimed by PRRM as one of its contributions to grassroots democracy.

PRRM inspired the formation of similar national movements in Colombia, Guatemala, Ghana, India and Thailand. The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR), set up by Dr. Yen in the mid-60s, facilitated this process of globalization of the rural reconstruction movement.

In 1984 a group of concerned citizens started a ‘Save our Forest’ movement. This grew into the Negros Forest and Ecological Foundation.

Since then, NFEFI and teams of volunteers have worked tirelessly to reforest hundreds of hectares, and have established a breeding program of endangered species plus numerous biodiversity conservation, education and research projects.

At the Foundation's enclosure alongside the Lagoon in Bacolod City visitors you can learn about NFEFI projects especially the endangered species breeding programs. Visitors can see rare warty pigs, leopard cats, spotted deer, bleeding heart pigeons and many more animals in danger of vanishing forever.

While the Foundation’s work is certainly helping to preserve our environment, there is so much more that needs to be done.

NFEFI has a number of programs that concerned citizens, schools, companies and civic groups can join. These include adopting an animal, adopting a tree or becoming a NFEFI volunteer.

Friendship Home Fr. Luis Amigó is a sixteen year old non-government organization registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1992, accredited as residential and center-based services for children and youth (renewal) valid until 10 April 2010 by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and accredited as a BIR donee institution by the Philippine Council for NGO certification on 21 June 2007. It has been accredited as well by the City of Manila Department of Social Welfare (MDSW). Its institutional profile is herewith attached. A full and current description of Friendship Home may be viewed at its website: http://www.friendshiphomeluisamigo.org

In January 2004 Friendship Home was among the ten nominees of the DSWD for residential centers of excellence. In recognition of Friendship Home’s quality services not only to its children/youth beneficiaries, numbering about a hundred annually, Friendship Home’s Director, Bro. Luis Ortiz, t.c. has been appointed by the DSWD as chairperson of the Area-based Standards Network-West Cluster (ABSNET-West Cluster). ABSNET West Cluster’s membership comprises 171 NGOs and POs as of November 2007.

As a leader-NGO in this cluster, Friendship Home is responsible for moving forward DSWD-ABSNET’s goals: to mobilize NGOs and POs towards peer helping in the registration, licensing and accreditation of NGOs and POs and helping them to building their institutional capacities to provide quality service to their respective constituencies. Member-organizations of ABSNET represent the following disadvantaged and vulnerable sectors: children and youth, the elderly, persons with disabilities and women.

Friendship Home started in May 1991 as a shelter for a handful of abandoned, physically abused children, orphans and children roaming the streets for alms or sleeping at night in abandoned niches for warmth and protection from the elements. Since then its services and number of beneficiaries have expanded to about a hundred children and youth annually. The vision of Friendship Home, in accordance with the spiritual legacy of Fr. Luis Amigó (+1854-1934) is “to build a kingdom of heaven on earth for children”. Translated to current realities, this involves Friendship Home’s mission to enable the children to enjoy their basic rights to the fullest: the fundamental right to life, the rights to education, to worship, to health, to a name, to enjoy peace and security, to find time for leisure and recreation, in sum, to grow as mature, responsible persons with dignity, self-esteem and worthy of their divine and human legacies.

The key programs of Friendship Home consist of residential care and center-based services, with EDUCATION as the key to unlock the children’s need for affection, skills development, attitude and values formation. The educational context of Friendship Home is to enable the children to know, understand and live the following core values:

Enabling the children to complete their studies to the highest levels of formal education is one of the educational goals of Friendship Home. But this is not enough, values formation and life skills training are directional thrusts of Friendship Home as well. In this sense, Friendship Home is a School of Life, where the daily activities of eating, sleeping, playing, studying, singing, dancing, doing the daily chores, praying and celebrating together are the raw materials for the children’s development as whole persons. It is Friendship Home’s wish that in the small stirrings of these life, some aspects of the child’s heroism will be born, be it the perseverance to finish school and break the chains of poverty; the interest and willingness to be a team player; or quite simply, to be able to dream and follow their bliss.
