Our Projects
From disaster response to health, livelihoods, and education, see how we work with communities across the Philippines.
The Well-being Triangle
We want every person to live a full life, physically, socially, and spiritually. We call this well-being.
Well-being rests on three areas that support each other: education, health, and sustainable livelihoods. Our projects connect these three areas, and we respond to emergencies when disaster strikes.
- We link the three areas, for example nutrition and farming in mother and child health.
- We work for fair development for women, girls, and minorities.
- We protect the most vulnerable people in every community.
Our Technical Expertise
Our staff design, run, and monitor projects in six areas, in line with ADRA policies, donor rules, and Philippine government requirements.

More than 30 years of emergency response. Our National Emergency Management Plan follows core humanitarian standards. We respond locally through the Adventist Church in every region.
