Join the Bayanihan Spirit Campaign: Help Us Expand Our Medical Mission and Change Lives
At HAND-Philippines, we’ve always believed in the power of community. Every year, we organize a medical mission that brings essential healthcare services to underserved communities across the Filipino island of Bohol. We aim to rebuild lives and restore hope. This year, we’re taking it a step further—and we need your help to make it possible.
Introducing our Bayanihan Spirit Campaign—a fundraising effort aimed at expanding the reach of our annual medical mission to include dental services, cataract surgeries, pediatric surgeries, and adult major surgeries.
Bayanihan is a Filipino custom that stems from the word “bayan”, meaning town or community. The term bayanihan literally translates to "being in a bayan," which reflects the spirit of communal unity, cooperation, and working together to achieve a common goal. In the true spirit of bayanihan, we come together to bring healthcare and hope to those who need it most.
Here’s how your generous contribution will help:
Dental Services: Many individuals in rural areas suffer from untreated dental problems. Your donation will provide essential dental care to help relieve pain and prevent further health complications.
Cataract Surgeries: Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness among the people of the Philippines. Your support will fund cataract surgeries, restoring vision to those who have been living in darkness for years.
Pediatric Surgeries: There are children in remote areas who urgently need life-saving surgeries. With your help, we can provide procedures to treat congenital conditions and emergency surgeries that would otherwise be out of reach.
Adult Major Surgeries: Many adults suffer from serious health issues that require surgery but lack the means to afford or access treatment. Your donation will enable us to provide life-saving surgeries, from thyroidectomies to emergency abdominal surgeries.
Why is this campaign important?
In the Philippines, millions of people in rural communities lack access to basic healthcare. They face long travel times, financial barriers, and limited resources when it comes to critical medical care.
The Bayanihan Spirit Campaign seeks to unite people like you, who believe in the power of collective action, to help meet these urgent needs.
Together, we can do this. In the true sense of bayanihan, your contribution—whether large or small—will make a meaningful impact, bringing healthcare and hope to those in need. Every donation will directly fund medical teams, equipment, and supplies that will travel to rural communities to perform surgeries and provide essential care.
Be a part of the Bayanihan Spirit. Join HAND-Philippines in providing life-saving surgeries, healthcare, and hope to communities across the nation. Together, we can lift the lives of those who need it most and show the strength of unity.
Donate today. Your support will help change lives for the better.
