Catholic Immersions

So many people in the Philippines live in very basic substandard housing situations. Often these homes are incredibly small, have poor or no sewerage, have dirt floors and lack adequate protection from the elements. Many families are without skills and stable income. Countless children are deprived of an education and basic healthcare.

Yes, the problem is huge. Some would say overwhelming. But we know that it is possible to make an enormous difference, one family at a time, one house at a time.

Our houses provide families with a safe, secure home. A house where they can gather and children can study. A house with a kitchen, shower and toilet. A house that can become a home and bring  newfound peace of mind to families.

Providing a house is not the solution, but it is an essential element.

We believe in the importance of a holistic approach to charity work. It’s always got to be about enhancing human dignity. It’s about providing ways to draw out the inherent potential in people through mentoring, encouragement, skills development, and shared dreams. It’s about supporting others to forge a strong and supportive community. It’s about contributing to the human family. It’s about thriving, not just surviving. It’s about hope.
