MAIN ISSUES

Some of the main issues in our country are poverty, lack of nutritious food, and access to water. Hands-On Manila creates efforts through programs like Good Deeds Day, to foster partnerships and implement projects that will cater to the marginalized sectors like the street dwellers, in order for them to have access to nutritious food and safe water.

FEATURED PROJECT

Our Good Deeds Day – “Cook for Good”

Hands On Manila encouraged family volunteers to prepare and pack hot meals from their homes and have them delivered to the HOM office for the street dweller-beneficiaries of our partner organization, Arnold Janssen Kalinga Foundation (AJKFI). The AJKFI beneficiary volunteers, together with some HOM volunteers, also prepared and cooked meals for the street dwellers. They were also responsible for the meal distribution.

This was also made possible through some corporate donors – Far Eastern University and Insular Life, In-kind donor – Soap Cycling Philippines, GDD shirt sponsor – Tams Bookstore, and Youth-led partner organization – Baryanihan Movement and to our individual donors.
