ALMOST 30 WATER WELLS INSTALLED IN MINDANAO IN 2020Alhamdulillah, a total of 29 telaga or water wells were donated in 2020 with 9 still under construction.

A sari-sari store is a mini convenience store selling grocery items and toiletries. A family usually builds a small structure in front of their house which becomes a go-to-store for the neighborhood. Sari-sari stores are very convenient because they sell goods at small quantities. You can find 100 grams of sugar, 50 ml of cooking oil and 1 kg of rice in this store. Almost every neighborhood in the Philippines has a sari-sari store.
