Rising to the challenges of today by helping create
bright futures through education.
VISION
To become a leading advocate of education committed
to uplifting the lives of Filipino youth by providing relevant learning
opportunities.
MISSION
To upgrade the quality of education by building
a culture of learning among Filipino children and to empower Filipino
communities to rediscover the value of unity and cooperation by
engaging them to participate in developing a library.
AHON (Acts of Hope for the Nation) Foundation,
the social arm of Filway Marketing, Inc., is a newly established non-stock,
non-profit organization with a mission to develop public elementary
libraries all over the Philippines. The foundation was created through
the initiative of Hector O. Tagaysay, President and
CEO of Filway Marketing, Inc., and Harvey S. Keh, co-founder
and Executive Director of Pathways to Higher Education at the Ateneo
de Manila University.
By developing libraries, we hope to promote genuine love of reading
among Filipino children. We believe that strengthening the reading and
comprehension skills of students would help boost the quality of education
in our public school system. We also acknowledge the value of community
involvement and hope to foster unity by engaging community members to
work together for a common cause.
Aside from refurbishing libraries, AHON seeks to sustain the program
by supporting training activities for librarians and initiating enrichment
activities for students. This is to ensure that our efforts would translate
to promotion of reading habits and improvement of children’s performance
in school.
AHON aspires to intensify this campaign for learning by reaching out
to more public elementary schools. By building a culture of learning
and empowering the community, we envision a significant change in the
quality of education in our country.
