    About us

    The Global Initiative for Exchange and Development Inc. (GIED) was established in July 07, 2015 with

    the primary aim to promote various meaningful collaborations in building local communities and

    empowering people to be partners in nation building. New breed but experienced social

    development professionals actively involved in different social development efforts in the Philippines

    and abroad conceptualized GIED. These social development professionals are armed with the

    professional background and passion to offer quality services to more communities in the country.

    Together, they pool more than a decade of experience in community development initiatives

    focusing on the most vulnerable sectors, children, youth, women, indigenous people, persons with

    disabilities among others.

    As a non-government and non-profit organization in the Philippines, GIED also seeks to establish its

    own relevance as it responds to the Philippines’ important national social policy frameworks and

    plans for sustainable human development. It is with this mindset that GIED’s advocacy on

    participation, empowerment, and development are emphasized to realize its vision on community

    development and global citizenship work.

    GIED aims to empower people-to-people connectivity through cross-cultural interaction and

    immersion within and across nations, international voluntary service and dynamic cooperation. It

    primarily focus its programs and services on social issues like access to education, health services,

    environmental sustainability, employment and livelihood opportunities as well as social exclusion. It

    also offers to serve the general public, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.

    recognized as "an outstanding legal luminary of the province" in a

    resolution of Quezon Provincial Legislature in 1981. He was

    appointed OIC Mayor of Lucena in 1986 and co-founded the

    Pasayahan sa Lucena(then called "Mardi gras sa Lucena"). He

    ORGANIZATION/ COMMUNITY

    CONTEXT

    BPCFI establishes, maintains, and operates as agency primarily for the

    marginalized and less privileged families of Mabolo, Cebu City. For the

    past several years, members and families of BPCFI have grown in

    numbers. Some migrated to different places in Cebu, while the houses of

    some of the families were demolished and thus they were forced to

    transfer to other places. In spite of these obstacles, the relationship

    between these families and BPCFI stood firm through communication,

    especially through home and school visitation.

    At the start, BPCFI operated in the sitios and barangays of Cebu City,

    specifically Barangay Mabolo. As the years went by, its work spread to

    different municipalities of Cebu and the different islands of the Visayas

    region. However, the bulk of its beneficiaries still come from Mabolo.

    The beneficiaries of BPCFI are mainly children and youth from age 3 to

    24 belonging to underprivileged and under-served communities and

    families. These children and youth are part of the BPCFI Educational

    Programs, and about 85 percent are given support through the Support

    at a Distance Program (SAAD).

    In recent years BPCFI expanded its services to cater to a wider range of clientele that covers not only those children and youth who are part of the SAAD Program. BPCFI, through its services, reached out to the parents of the children and youth and their communities, providing some health services and skills training services.

    in the Philippines. While some of modern urban structures,

    some others, especially those which are seated in the outlying

    areas, remained rural.

    The term Kawit comes from Cebuano word “kawit or kaw-it”, a

    bamboo tube about two and half feet long with a wooden hook

    fastened at the top. This is being carried by gatherers of coconut

    wine. Because of its tasty local wine people from neighboring places

    barangay is the most progressive place in the town. It has a public

    market and its own fire and police substation.

    CONTEXT

    BPCFI establishes, maintains, and operates as agency primarily for the

    marginalized and less privileged families of Mabolo, Cebu City. For the

    past several years, members and families of BPCFI have grown in

    numbers. Some migrated to different places in Cebu, while the houses of

    some of the families were demolished and thus they were forced to

    transfer to other places. In spite of these obstacles, the relationship

    between these families and BPCFI stood firm through communication,

    especially through home and school visitation.

    At the start, BPCFI operated in the sitios and barangays of Cebu City,

    specifically Barangay Mabolo. As the years went by, its work spread to

    different municipalities of Cebu and the different islands of the Visayas

    region. However, the bulk of its beneficiaries still come from Mabolo.

    The beneficiaries of BPCFI are mainly children and youth from age 3 to

    24 belonging to underprivileged and under-served communities and

    families. These children and youth are part of the BPCFI Educational

    Programs, and about 85 percent are given support through the Support

    at a Distance Program (SAAD).

    In recent years BPCFI expanded its services to cater to a wider range of clientele that covers not only those children and youth who are part of the SAAD Program. BPCFI, through its services, reached out to the parents of the children and youth and their communities, providing some health services and skills training services.
