Know our Programs
SABLAYANIHAN CHILDREN'S NECESSITY BANK
Donate-2-Create SABLAYANIHAN’s flagship program, the Necessity Bank, collects, stores, and distributes donated children’s supplies free of charge to families in need.
The program provides immediate support during emergencies such as natural disasters, crop loss, house fires, unemployment, and other hardships. Donations include new and gently used clothing, hygiene kits, school supplies, and other essential items, allowing volunteers to respond quickly when help is needed.
Donations also support feeding programs, relief efforts, learning spaces, and community projects for children. Beneficiaries include children of farmers, fisherfolk, Indigenous Mangyan communities, and other low-income families in Sablayan, Philippines.
DISASTER RELIEF - RESPONDER INITIATIVE
Small children and the youth from the most disadvantaged families are often the hardest hit during and after disasters. They may lose their homes and belongings, become sick, and face greater risks. Since essential supplies for children are readily available in our Children’s Necessity Bank, we can easily provide immediate assistance to children, families, and communities affected by natural disasters and emergencies.
ECOLOGICAL LITERACY FOR KIDS
Lakbay-Kalikasan is our ecological literacy program that introduces children to environmental awareness at an early age. We believe that early ecological education is essential. It helps children understand environmental issues, develop problem-solving skills, and take action to protect nature. Through this program, children, their families, and their communities gain the knowledge and values needed to live more sustainable and eco-friendly lives.
FEEDING PROGRAMS
We conduct feeding activities in different communities such as in Kindergarten, public primary schools , barangay communal areas, evacuation centers as well as in far-flung indigenous communities.
LIBRENG GUPIT PARA KAY LIIT - FREE HAIRCUT PROGRAMS
With the help of volunteers, barbers, community officials, and barangay health workers, we provide free haircuts for children aged 3–13. This activity is part of our hygiene and sanitation program.
MANGYAN COMMUNITIES INITIATIVES
Mangyan communities, the Indigenous people of Sablayan, are increasingly affected by armed conflict, land disputes, environmental issues, and climate change.
Volunteers visit communities in the mountains and near the town to provide food, relief assistance, and educational support to children and their families.
SABLAYANIHAN BARANGAY SUPPORT
In cooperation with the local government of Sablayan and community officials, we conduct environmental and community activities, including tree planting, disaster support, and other community initiatives.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES DISTRIBUTION
We distribute school supply packs to indigent children in rural and urban communities, indigenous settlements, and Alternative Learning System (ALS) students. These supplies help ease the financial burden on families, especially after crop losses or calamities such as house fires.
SLIPPERS OF HOPE
Slippers are a necessity for children, especially in hot and rainy weather. They are affordable and practical, and a good alternative when shoes are unavailable or too expensive. However, some poor families cannot afford to replace worn-out slippers. This may affect children’s confidence, expose their feet to dirt, and increase the risk of injury.
