At the Pamulaan Center in Davao City on the island of Mindanao, indigenous youth are gaining access to higher education—an opportunity that once felt far out of reach.

Each year, this program supports 10 indigenous students, covering not only tuition fees but also dormitory and meal costs, creating an environment where students can focus fully on their studies without financial burden.

But the goal of this program goes beyond simply earning a degree. It aims to foster future leaders who understand and take pride in their cultural roots, and who can contribute meaningfully to the sustainable development of their communities.

Educational inequality still exists due to differences in regional and economic backgrounds. That’s why we’re committed to supporting these young people as they walk forward—grounded in their identity—and filled with hope for the future.
