Our goal is to support pro-active people!
We choose profiles with sustainable business-mind. We care about people first and we decided to do it by endorsing people who have ambition, who are pro-active, who are positive people, who try to see solutions when things get tougher. We generate only sustainable projects to benefit the locals: we provide training and education, we support employment, housing, food supply, cleaning facilities and we set-up projects that allow to maintain and improve people’s growth in the long term.

Our mission is to promote sustainability.
The Mangyans are the native people on the island of Mindoro and they live in extreme poverty. Their meals often consist of rice only. Thus, we are starting a bakery school where we teach adults and teenager to do bread, pizza, dishes… There are 3 main benefits :
Diversify the meals of the Mangyan population
Teach professional skills to people who didn’t have any
Offer them a revenue from the selling of their products
