The mission of The Love of Vicentica Foundation has been alive even before its
founding.  Since 2002, the founder of this non-profit organization, in cooperation
with her family and friends, has regularly sent financial assistance to the needy
in Batanes.  
Scholarships have been granted to selected students, financial aid provided to a
few, and rice and milk distributed to the poorest of the poor.  Our goal is to
expand the scope of these services and increase the number of recipients.  
In addition to the above, we intend to create training jobs in Batanes to increase
the employability of people with disability and people with no academic
education.  Resource speakers, educators, trainers, and job coaches from the
city of Manila or from other countries will be sponsored by the Foundation to
conduct vocational-skills training in the areas of agriculture, arts, child care,
printing, plumbing, welding, metal working, landscaping, carpentry, travel and
tourism, etc.  
Programs and Initiatives
The foundation also intends to sponsor technical trainings from hardware
maintenance to aircraft maintenance. When Batanes became fully powered in
the early 2000s, there was an upsurge of power-driven equipment.  Buying
electronic machines from Manila is expensive in itself, but what is more
challenging is to get them repaired when they crash, for the only way to get
them maintained and repaired is by transporting them to Manila via air or sea.
The foundation will shoulder all costs associated with the trainings including
capital for the trainees who want to start their own business.  Trainors’ travel
expense will also be covered.  There is no land transportation that connects
Batanes to Manila but air transportation is available two to three times a week.  
The Love of Vicentica Foundation also extends its resources to the Congregation
of the Little Sisters of St. Therese in
Haiti - the poorest country in the Western
hemisphere, and works with organizations in
Kenya, Africa that have programs
for the indigents such as the KAIRU Foundation in Nairobi and the Assumption
Sisters of Eldoret.  We particularly intend to support their programs on health,
education, and orphanage services.
