WE Foundation is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering underserved communities in the Philippines through education and community development. In collaboration with local programs, government agencies and community leaders, we create sustainable solutions that foster self-reliance and a brighter future.
Transforming lives through impactful initiatives that empower communities and inspire change.
Our journey began in the island of Culion, Palawan, once known as the “Land of No Return. where we met an inspiring figure, Fr. John Vien Nguyen. He has devoted over a decade to uplifting the indigenous population through his impactful program, The Self Reliant Farm. His unwavering commitment to empowering the community ignited a spark within us—a desire to join forces with Fr. John and amplify his mission.
At WE Foundation, we believe that every individual deserves access to education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihoods. We envision a world where communities thrive on self-reliance and resilience.
