Education
The basis of the country’s future is its people. That’s why what we do today matters.
The LBC Foundation works to make a real difference in the lives of Filipinos by linking and bridging them to resources that will empower underserved communities across the country. The outcome may be difficult to quantify but the important work has already taken place and the transformative impact will be seen for years to come.
EDUCATION
At a time of increasingly vulnerable populations, the LBC Foundation amplifies its mission through education where impact on social change is high. It serves thousands of people—especially the young—in marginalized and under-privileged communities that would otherwise not have been.
