Revisiting our goals.

Our goal is to empower the local youths, give them hope and roots in the barrios where they are living by making the barrios productive, vibrant and a repository of local knowledge at the same time improving the local biodiversity by nurturing the land in a low-external input system (as opposed to high-chemical agriculture) and incorporating crop-trees-animals in a nutrient-cycle, sustainable manner.  The ALEY-NM is a winner of the 2010 Ten Accomplished Youth Organization in the Philippines and an awardee of the “Saka” award by the Department of Agriculture. We have successfully implemented projects supported by the Japan Water Forum, AsiaDhraa, US Embassy and the UH-Habitat. 

 So much have happened since I last posted in our site.

The following are our breakthroughs ever since;

a. We were able to sustain and expand our programs initially from our base in Libertad, Misamis Oriental to Dipolog City and Ormoc City.

b. We were very active in delivering disaster recovery initiatives specifically during Typhoon Haiyan and the Taal volcano eruption.

c. Our main support comes from the Global Giving on-line platform and local donors.

 Hello Friends, allow me to update our blog. Thank you very much.
