Agrarian unrest has been a hallmark of Central Luzon’s history for over 60 years now. It is the cradle of the Hukbalahap movement which metamorphosed into the Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People’s Army.

Thus, the manifestation of idle yet fertile land has been the basis of socio-economic conflict as seen in peasant unrest and the unequal distribution of wealth experienced by our nation.

This is the social backdrop of our fledging Foundation’s mission. Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Sierra Madre mountain range in historic San Miguel, Bulacan are over 100 hectares of bucolic hills. These were donated to GreenEarth Heritage Foundation by a generous land-owner in early 2009.

The Land was purchased roughly 40 years ago with the landowner’s dream of developing a viable agricultural endeavour. However, as is often said, “work got in the way,” and the land was left idle, susceptible to both fraudulent transactions and illegal squatting. Its lush potential was never achieved.

Hence, the decision to cede the raw Garden of Eden to our foundation to ensure its viable promise for beneficiaries without the taint of potential profiteering and the past mistake of nonuse.

Over 139 families live in the foundation’s immediate vicinity, mostly in abject poverty. An overwhelming majority of the residents have only attained an elementary level of education and 48 percent of the population are below 20 years old.

GreenEarth’s mission is to assist in poverty alleviation by providing livelihoods centered in organic agriculture and by empowering communities through spiritual transformation in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe that it is through a personal relationship with Christ alone that we will be able to bring hope, change and a bright future to the people of the community that we serve.
