About us
Handog Natin (Tagalog/Filipino word meaning "Our Gift") is an organization that envisions to create unity amongst Filipinos in UK as well as giving our share towards life improvement of our "kababayans" (countrymen) in the Philippines. We are a non-stock, non-profit organization aiming to provide medical, educational, social, moral and spiritual support to underprivileged Filipinos back home. Handog Natin organizes fund-raising programs and solicit funds from our members, individuals, groups and business firms through cash/cheque donations or regular contributions by means of direct-debit, standing orders and other automated credits. All proceeds will be used for funding the Handog Natin outreach programs in the Philippines in associations with the Non-Government Organizations, Allied Sectors, Volunteers, Members and other Charity Organizations.
Our organisation is proud of carrying out its missions solely by our own trustees and members as much as possible by identifying, facilitating, coordinating, supervising and conducting outreach projects and missions ourselves. Our volunteers consist mostly of family members, colleagues, close friends and trusted individuals who are local residents to areas where the missions are undertaken.
OUR VISION has been to create unity amongst Filipinos in UK and to give our share towards the improvement of life for our "kababayans"(countrymen) in the Philippines.
