Projects & Partnerships

Learn more about the on-going projects and partnerships of Got Heart Foundation and find out how you can support the communities we work with

Got Heart Shop

A one-stop shop for all-natural, organic, and local food and non-food products. It carefully curates the best products from our partner indigenous communities and small business partners.

Got Heart Roving Laboratory

On selected visits to our partner communities, we bring the tools and equipment needed to set-up a makeshift laboratory so that we can experiment on their produce and products together.

Got HeART Gallery

This quaint art space will be launched on September 2017 with the goal of helping promote local art, as well as giving artists an avenue to showcase their work.

Got Heart Farms

We work with several farming communities to advocate organic farming. It’s proven to be the better choice for both the producers (less inputs, more produce) and consumers (healthier, tastier). It’s also better for the planet.

Earth Kitchen

Earth Kitchen is a partnership between Got Heart Foundation and Hizon’s Catering. It is a farm-to-table restaurant, showcasing the fresh produce and ingredients of our partner communities and Got Heart farms.

Art therapy sessions

We sometimes hold art therapy sessions among the children and youth of various communities to help in their rehabilitation. We hope to literally bring color into their lives by encouraging them to express themselves through painting.

Scholarship Program

We help provide selected students from our different communities an education by coming up with sustainable ways to fund their schooling.

Feeding Program

We, in partnership with Katinko and the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED), occasionally run a supplementary feeding program in Victoria, Tarlac. It caters to 400 severely malnourished school children in 22 public schools.

About Us

Got Heart? Help Change the World!

Got Heart Foundation is created to celebrate love and gratitude, to recognize how we are all interconnected. It is continually being developed by people who want to help create a real and lasting social impact to marginalized communities – the poor, suffering, and deprived. We create heartlinks – ways for people to help and opportunities for the marginalized to help themselves – to bring out the best of those who have the least. Got Heart does not believe in dole-outs. Anchored to the core values, Got Heart envisions of creating SHInDig - Sustainable, Holistic, Independent, and Dignified - communities. Got Heart Foundation, Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit organization duly registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Department of Social Welfare and Development since November 2007.

Sustainable
We guide them in creating sustainable livelihood programs by providing technical assistance and finding markets for their products, giving it scale, size, and focus.
Holistic
We utilize approach that gives focus to the holistic development and capacity building of the community - one that encourages economic, social, environmental, and political awareness.
Independent
We equip them with tools and offer assistance that will allow them to be independent, not rely on dole-outs, and stand on their own in the long run.
Dignified
We focus on supporting projects that are aimed at establishing dignified communities, focusing on areas that showcase their strengths and harness their potentials to empower individuals and the community as a whole.

“Ito na po ang produkto naming ngayon…sa tulong ng Got Heart at Cardinal Agri…nagpapasalamat po kami dahil sa kanila nagkaroon an gaming school ng fund. Tuwing Friday napo ang aming feeding so dito na po namin kinukuha, at para po sa lahat ng mga bata hindi lang po para sa mga malnourished children.”

Mr. Nelson Salazar,

Grade 6 Teacher of Mary Edwards Venturanza Elem./School, garden in- charge

“Malaki ang naitulong ng [Got Heart-Cardinal Agri] garden na ito, ako bilang isang magulang, ako na mismo ang nagbebenta ng mga na-harvest na gulay. At ngayon may pondo na ang PTA, may pambili na kami ng binhi sa susunod na pagtatanim. At isa pa, nahihikayat namin ang mga bata na kumain ng gulay, ako natutuwa din at hindi ko lang anak ang nakikinabang. Tumutulong ako dito para suporta sa mga guro at sa project na ito. Ang ating counterpart ay commitment kaya kaming mga magulang nagpupursige din.”

Mrs. Geraldine Arizaga,

Parent from Mary Edwards Venturanza Elem. School

“Simula ng dumating ang Got Heart Foundation sa lugar namin, napaka laking opportunity agad ang naisip ko. Isa doon ay maipagpatuloy ko ang pagaaral ko after high school, maka tungtong sa college at dahil don naging mas malinaw sakin ang naghihintay na magandang kinabukasan ko at ng pamilya ko. At ngayon maipagmamalaki na ko ng pamilya ko at ng mga tumulong sakin. Naka graduate na ako at nakakatulong na sa pamilya. Ito naman ang pagkakataon na ibalik ko ang kabutihan – maging isang tapat na tao sa trabaho at volunteer ng foundation na ito.”
