At Araw Foundation, we believe that meaningful change begins at home.Â
Born from a deep love for Bacolod City and Negros Island, our mission is to illuminate lives by fostering sustainable development and uplifting the communities that shaped us. Guided by a team of trustees with deep roots in the region, we are dedicated to building a brighter, more resilient future for our people.
Our work focuses on three key pillars: education, health, and socio-economic development. We collaborate with local schools, municipalities, and like-minded organizations to deliver programs that address the needs of the underprivileged, empower individuals, and nurture self-sufficient communities. From scholarships that unlock potential to livelihood initiatives that promote self-reliance, our projects are designed to provide tools, knowledge, and opportunities that enable communities to help themselves.
At Araw Foundation, we believe in teaching people how to fish rather than simply giving them fish. By promoting sustainable growth and self-reliance, we ensure that our impact endures for generations to come. Together, we strive to give back to the community that raised us, bringing hope, opportunity, and a brighter tomorrow for all citizens of the Negros Island Region.
We are driven by the belief that every small step can lead to transformative change. Whether it is through empowering local artisans, supporting health initiatives, or creating educational pathways, we celebrate the power of collective action. At Araw Foundation, we see every challenge as an opportunity to inspire growth, resilience, and unity within our communities. By working hand-in-hand with local leaders and organizations, we aim to foster a spirit of collaboration that drives progress and creates a lasting legacy for generations to come.
