ABOUT IHHELPP
Canmaya Diot High School, Bohol_ Bathroom using Structure Insulated Panels (SIPs) & Handwash Station
Turnover Ceremony, September 2020
IHHELPP is a volunteer-based charitable foundation borne out of a simple desire to share the ample blessings that we receive with needy Filipinos in the Philippines. From school supplies to disaster-resilient homes and bathrooms, we have been giving support to school children, youth & families in need since 2006. Such efforts evolved into a charitable foundation formed by friends and associates who share the same vision, passion, and commitment.
Our vision is to create a leveled playing field for the poor by promoting health & well-being, housing, education, and livelihood. We are guided by the counsel...
"And after you have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good-to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted." Jacob 2:19
