Our community programme
Bayanihan

Together, we carry the load. In our tradition, bayanihan 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.

“Bayanihan” — an original oil painting; a wedding gift from Maribeth de Montaigne to her husband David de Montaigne on their wedding day, 35 years ago.  ·  The programme is delivered with our independent non-profit partner, School Aid MTÜ.
