Schoolbags that are changing lives in the Philippines.

"PAGASA," a Filipino word that means hope, embodies the spirit of our mission. By purchasing these schoolbags, you are not just buying a product; you are bringing hope to many families living in poverty. These bags are crafted with care by the talented women of Ten Foundations' livelihood programme.

In October 2026, I will join cyclists from Ireland, the UK, and the Philippines for the "Ride for Hope 2026 - Philippines : Legazpi to Balayan," where we will ride an incredible 500km to raise funds for Ten Foundations. This organization is dedicated to supporting some of the poorest families in the Philippines by providing fair-paid sewing work, skills training, and scholarships for children who would otherwise have no opportunity to study.

I have committed to raising £1,000 for this cause, and I assure you that every donation will go directly towards these vital programmes. Your support will help:

• Create more livelihood opportunities for mothers

• Provide school support and scholarships

• Build new training and production facilities

• Offer emergency assistance to families in crisis

Please consider donating. Together, we can bring hope to families who need it most.
