Founded by Father Arnold as a center of healing and transformation for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), Persons Who Used Drugs (PWUDs), and people in need.
Following the values of mercy and compassion, and through the center’s strong partnership with various stakeholders*, the center has grown from a simple volunteer center for counselling orthopedic patients, into a multi-faceted support facility of senior citizens, women, children and youth, drug rehabilitation and education, as well as disaster response. We have served about 40,000 people over the years.
* In partnership with: The Provincial Government of Nueva Ecija, Regional Trial Courts, Department of Interior and Local Government, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Trade and Industry, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, Private Organizations, and Individuals
