This exciting new program involves the relocation of 360 families, currently living a-hand-to-mouth-existence on rubbish tips or in basic shanty areas, to a purpose 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 are taught to support each other in achieving a viable future for themselves and especially for their children.

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 housing with most families living in houses made of temporary materials.
The objective of this program is to assist 70 families to build decent shelter for themselves located in a community where members have already learned to support each other and understand that cooperation is the key to achieving a bright future for themselves and their children.
The community has already established their community spirit by working together to build facilities such as their barangay Hall, a community centre, health centre, and an elementary school.
