Adhika ;
Tagalog word for
goal, wish, or desire.
Our organization assists community efforts to allow Filipinos build and empower themselves so that they might live out their own goals, wishes and desires. We have been actively working in the Philippines and Canada since 1985.
Our mission is to raise awareness and support for the needs of communities in the Philippines, while engaging in activities that foster pride in Filipino culture and identity.
The community
We feed 7,000 hungry children annually in the Philippines, we spearhead recovery efforts after typhoons and other natural disasters, and we have led camps and programs to increase cultural education and social awareness for children.
