MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT (Excerpt from the Publication)
As I look at the growth over the years since our commencement in 1977, I am extremely proud of what we have achieved, and even more excited about our hope for an equally promising future. This year, among the 153 applicants, HEALTH Plus, through the entry of South Cotabato on The Friendly Drugs: A PPP On HEALTH Plus Project, has won the Galing Pook Award as one of the
most outstanding and innovative local governance programs that promotes positive results and impact, people's participation and empowerment, innovation, transferability and sustainability and efficiency of program service delivery in the Philippines. It is fulfilling also to know that we are able to help different communities with our new projects which includes the Ridge-to-Reef and the second phase of SR-WARP.
To meet the challenges ahead and fulfill all our funding donor's expectations, we take on a broad range of projects designed to engage the environment, the corporate sector, government agencies, and the business community and opportunities all over the region. We take pleasure with the challenge of taking on new opportunities in the capacity of project management, training, education and much more, in innovating new proposals. We coordinated with national government agencies, academes and private organizations and developed/utilized Open data Kit and Qlik app/system as a monitoring tool. Although our projects vary in nature, they all utilize our expertise and experience in socio-economic and environmental programs.
Celebrating the company's 38th anniversary in 2015, Mahintana has played a focal role over the years in achieving our vision of "sustainable and resilient communities" and we recognize that it would not be possible without the contribution of our dedicated employees who have shared our remarkable journey thus far. We look forward to continuing to serve and engage with them as well as appreciate the impact we have had on helping communities across the region. We also appreciate the ongoing support received from our funding donors who are interested in the company's activities and pledge to continue in our efforts to top expectations.
For the next year, we have identified a number of key growth areas that we intend to focus on and we have added new staff who will help us continue working with our fund holders to ensure that the Foundation is positioned not just for another year but into perennity.
