We have 4 programs in Cebu . Our main program
is the building of "San Pio Village". This
exciting new program involves the relocation of 360 families,
currently living a-hand-to-mouth-existence in rubbish tips or
in basic shanty areas, to a purposely built village named San Pio Village. Through community development and educational
initiatives the program aims to pave a better way of life for
these families who have been taught to support each other in
achieving a viable future for themselves and especially for
their children. Continue

Our main partners in Cebu are "Communities for
Communities" and "Habitat for Humanity". Both are helping to
provide funds for
the San Pio Village project. Click here for information on our

The rural Dulangan community located near Digos City in
Mindanao is made up of either farmers or seasonal agricultural
workers. They are in dire need of decent and safe houses. Most
families are living in houses made of flimsy and temporary
materials only.
The objective of this program is to assist 70 families to
build decent shelters for themselves. Congregated in a community
where members have learnt to support each other and
understand that cooperation is the key to achieving a bright
future for them and their children.
The existing community has already established community
spirit by working together to build facilities such as a barangay Hall, a community centre,
a health centre, and an elementary school. As per their
accepted priorities, it is now
time to work together in rebuilding their own houses. BCA,
together with
Habitat, will assist in funding the building of new houses.
Furthermore, BCA will also fund a livelihood project (e.g. a
goat farm) to help them generate extra income to afford house
repayments. Continue
