MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT (Excerpt from the Publication)
T he year 2012 marks the foundation's 35th year of carrying out its responsibility towards its adopted communities in pursuit
of helping them help themselves.
This year, Mahintana has also been confronted with challenges, since some of its projects have come to its conclusion. In particular are the South —Eastern Philippines Health and Economic Alternatives (HEAL) Project funded by European Commission and the Health Promotion (HealthPRO) Project supported by USAID. Though, we believe that these interventions have made humble accomplishments in generating demand for health services through information and advocacy and providing better economic opportunities to the communities it has served.
The triumph we reaped for the past years have given us the passion we need to continue achieving our vision of "improving the quality of life of people in a sustainable environment" despite of these trying times. As we continue to implement our existing programs and projects, we also look into the possibilities of continuously engaging in various social enterprise endeavors to be able to sustain our development initiatives.
I wish to convey my sincerest gratitude for the generous support of our donors and partners, the unwavering faith of our leaders and officers and the dedication of our staff who have made all these years' accomplishments possible.
