60 years of Living Faith for Caritas Manila

This coming November 29 till December 1, Caritas Manila will celebrate its 60 years of Living Faith in its Social Mission.  And in connection to this, they will hold an anniversary expo in the activity center of Ayala Trinoma Mall in Quezon City.  The expo will feature products made by social entrepreneurs via Caritas Manila’s own social enterprise: Caritas Margins and Segunda Mana.

This event aims to raise funds to help sustain the pro-poor programs of Caritas Manila. The products sold in the BUY and GIVE EXPO are made by the poor communities and from the marginalized sector currently being supported by Caritas Manila. Art pieces are made by residents from National Bilibid Prison, gift items, accessories, and personal care products made by urban poor families, pre-loved items and inventories from our benefactors and corporate partners are just some of the products showcased in this Expo.

Why  BUY and GIVE?   Because for every product you BUY, you actually GIVE to someone in need. These are the 3 ways: 1^st – the item one buys gives income to the producer of the product from the poor community/marginalized sector;

2^nd – part of the revenues will be plowed back to help sustain Caritas Manila’s pro-poor programs, specifically on Skills and Livelihood Training and Youth Servant Leadership and Education Programs; and;

3^rd – buying the product is giving to oneself or for someone else to appreciate.

Good finds at reasonable prices and helping uplift other peoples’ lives…come to Caritas Manila’s BUY & GIVE EXPO.
