The Green Fund
Restoring nature, empowering indigenous learning, and building resilient communities through care and action.
A quarter of every enrollment directly supports The Green Fund.
Many Aeta children face barriers to education.
Limited access to learning materials, lack of safe and equipped spaces, and few opportunities to connect lessons with their daily lives. These challenges make it harder for them to thrive academically and preserve their cultural identity.
Our free teaching program provides accessible, culturally sensitive education, complete materials, and nurturing spaces where Aeta children can learn, grow, and build resilience. By integrating nature, practical life skills, and community support, we ensure that every child has the chance to flourish and carry forward both knowledge and heritage.
The Aetas are the original stewards of Subic Bay. Its forests, rivers, and trails are part of their heritage. Today, much of the land is borrowed from them, yet many lack the tools and knowledge to defend and sustain it. Through our programs, we help nurture their connection to nature, strengthen their voices, and provide education that empowers them to care for what has always been theirs.
