WE Foundation

My birthday is coming up, and this year, instead of gifts, I invite you to support WE Foundation, a nonprofit organization serving underserved communities in the Philippines.

Their most recent project is the construction of a medical and dental clinic in the remote community of Cabulihan, Palawan. Your donation will help us equip the clinic with the medical and dental equipment and supplies needed to begin providing free medical and dental missions to children and families who have little access to healthcare.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to opening a clinic that will serve this community for years to come.

Thank you for celebrating my birthday by helping bring healthcare and hope to those who need it most. Together, we can make a lasting difference.

Niña Guimba is an 18-year-old scholar from Culion, Palawan, who dreams of becoming a dentist so she can serve Indigenous and underserved communities. As her first step, she plans to study nursing before pursuing dentistry.

Raised by her grandparents and supported by family members who sacrificed for her education, Niña has grown up with both hardship and love. Her experiences with Indigenous communities and her own dental struggles inspired her dream of helping others through dental care.

Even in state institutions, the annual cost of college is about $5,000, including mandatory school fees, nursing supplies, school supplies, uniforms, and living expenses. Your support can help Niña continue her studies and move closer to her dream of bringing care and confidence to others.

Please help by donating, sharing her story, or sending words of encouragement.

We’d like you to meet Mariel, a 24-year-old scholar from Culion, Palawan, whose story is rooted in sacrifice, resilience, and hope. As the second of eight siblings, Mariel grew up in a family where both love and hardship were always present. Her mother is Tagbanua, her father is a farmer and fisherman, and like many families in rural communities, they worked hard but still struggled to support all of their children, especially when it came to education.

From a young age, Mariel dreamed of finishing school alongside her older brother so they could one day help support their younger siblings. But during senior high school, when the family faced financial crisis, her brother made the painful decision to stop his own studies so Mariel could continue hers. That sacrifice left a deep mark on her and strengthened her determination to keep moving forward.

She dreams of a day when the youth of Culion, especially Indigenous youth, can rise above poverty through education, lead with confidence, and give back to their communities.

Mariel is now on her first year in nursing school and with your help, she can continue her educational journey and move closer to the future she hopes to help build.

Sponsor Mariel today—and help invest in a future where education empowers Indigenous youth to rise, lead, and give back to their communities.

 

Hannah is an 18-year-old from Culion, Palawan, who has long dreamed of becoming a doctor, and that dream was shaped by what she witnessed as a child growing up in an island community where access to healthcare was often painfully out of reach.

Despite financial struggles, Hannah worked hard in school and held on to her dream. Now, with scholarship support, she has the opportunity to begin her journey toward a future in healthcare and one day return to serve her community.

She is in her first year of nursing at Gordon College in Olongapo as her pre-med course. Even in state institutions, the annual cost of college is about $5,000, including mandatory school fees, nursing supplies, school supplies, uniforms, and living expenses. Your support can help Hannah stay focused on her studies and move closer to her goal.

Sponsor Hannah today—and help a future healthcare professional bring compassion, skill, and hope back to the island communities that need it most.
