5. Project 200
Project 200 was born out of the idea that if a bunch of friends–Jomar Gabato, Raffy Gagabu-an, and Joan Dela Cruz–collected PHP 200 from their own friends, they could help out victims of Yolanda survive.
Now, it has carried on to be a yearly tradition of bringing joy to kids by collecting toys, visiting them in the hospital, or giving them food. They focus on the marginalized sector, spreading the love and generosity as much as they can. Make a difference with them!

3. Feeding Sisters
Feeding Sisters started out as a love for traveling meeting a love for charity. On a charity hike, they decided to continue on this tradition of traveling to communities and delivering goods and food to those in need.
