The Mina project delivers measurable environmental and social value, aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Healthier soils, better water retention, drought resilience.
Residue diverted from open burning.
Jobs, farmer income, women's participation and children's education via Kababayan.
Countrymen. Kin. Fellow travellers. In our tradition, kababayan is the whole village coming together to lift a neighbour — when a family moves their home, everyone carries it together. That is the spirit of the programme: farmers, families and partners lifting one another — from Mina, for the Philippines.
“Kababayan” — an original oil painting; a wedding gift from Maribeth de Montaigne to her husband David on their wedding day, 35 years ago. · The programme is delivered with our independent non-profit partner, School Aid MTÜ.
