Purposeful Unconditional Service to Others
Providing Hope with a Purpose
It takes a village to raise a child, in this case a charitable foundation. Learn how a simple, humble idea – combined with a Go Fund Me campaign – has since blossomed into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing hope with a purpose to those in need from all walks of life across the globe.

A Greater Cause
Who says fundraising can’t be fun and active? Through our interactive annual fundraisers – consisting of a fitness bootcamp, a golf tournament, a flag football tournament, a 5v5 basketball tournament, a shoe art gallery auction, and a New Year’s Eve celebration – we have been able to raise over $120,000 for our service work programs. Recap some highlights of our many fundraising programs below!

Connections
College Outreach
Since 2017, we have empowered thousands of college students across the United States through collaborative partnerships, mentorship, and direct access to our team. From hosting workshops, to presenting keynote speeches, to facilitating fundraisers and service events, we work with students in a variety of ways. The success of our mission would not be possible without our network of college partners. Are you currently a college student?

Our Current Focus
Hope Reframed Housing Project
In response to Super Typhoon Odette, which damaged 1.7 million homes in the Philippines just before Christmas of 2021, we launched Hope Reframed, our first-ever shelter-rebuilding effort. In less than a year, we have built eleven homes for families most in need, and we are just getting started.
​
Each house costs US$3,000 to build, but to us and the families we serve, these homes are priceless. Contribute today through the link below.
Swell of Hope
Our Siargao-based Outreach Team has successfully delivered over 10,000 PUSO Care Packages since March of 2020 to communities deeply affected by COVID-19 in the Philippines. We’ve also provided PUSO Care Packages, meals, drinking water, clothing, and medicine to the victims of Super Typhoon Odette.
​
Our goal is to feed as many hungry mouths as we possibly can. But we need your help! If you would like to contribute to our ongoing Swell of Hope relief efforts, please donate by clicking the link down below.
Education
We have proudly worked with Silid Aralan, Inc., a Philippines-based non-profit which provides supplemental academic support to public school students, since 2019. We have delivered educational materials, such as books and writing utensils, and we are currently sponsoring 30 learners.
​
We also recently hosted our “From Students to Students” back to school program, through which we provided clothing, school supplies, and free haircuts for over 500+ students. We led art classes and a mental health seminar, and we distributed donations from students in our US-based College Outreach Program.
​
As students in the Philippines return to school after two years of COVID-related closures, it is more important than ever to support childhood education. Help us invest in our youth through the link below.
Natural Disaster Relief
In addition to our more strategic relief programs, like Swell of Hope and Hope Reframed, we also provide immediate aid in the wake of natural disasters. We have delivered food, drinking water, and other life necessities to the survivors of typhoons, mudslides, fires, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes since 2017.
While natural disasters are often unpredictable, you can help us prepare for our next immediate relief effort by donating today at the link below.
