Transforming Communities
with Sustainable
Social Impact Investment.
(English)
Pro.Vision Philippines is seeking support to launch the Social Impact Fund, a long-cherished dream to create sustainable in-country funding for the two Christian Early Learning Centers in Cebu.
To generate the income needed, we have established the social impact fund based in Cebu, and set an audacious goal of raising a minimum of $80,000US by the end of April 2023.
This goal reflects our unwavering faith in a bold, abundant God who exceeds all our expectations.
Please explore the links on this page to download the Investment Fund Launch Profile and other supporting documents showcasing how the fund will work with our Cebu-based business partners.
Your support means everything to us as we endeavor to make a life-changing impact on the lives of some of the world’s poorest families.
Our Why
Pro.Vision Philippines partnered with One Foundation International in December 2020 to address two challenges that posed a threat to the long-term sustainability of its two Early Learning Centres.
The newly formed team focused on addressing two critical questions: firstly, how can ethical Filipino businesses make a meaningful positive impact on underprivileged, poor, and marginalized communities in Cebu?
And secondly, how can we encourage Filipino businesses to take their corporate social responsibility seriously through impact investment?
As a result of these discussions, the Pro.Vision Social Impact Team emerged with the objective of exploring opportunities for local businesses to promote missional projects for the betterment of all. The team aims to bring about holistic transformation and kingdom impact across economic, social, environmental, and spiritual lines.
Our How
The Pro.Vision Social Impact Fund
The creation of the Social Impact Fund established a sustainable investment framework, to enable a recurring cycle of funding for business projects and profit-sharing towards Pro.Vision's ministry.
To ensure the fund's integrity and accountability, rigorous policies and processes have been put in place, including thorough risk assessments and due diligence, board-approved application procedures, and detailed legal documentation.
The fund presently supports the Pro.Vision Christian Learning Centers, situated in the heart of two dumpsite communities in Inayawan and Bankal, Cebu.
The center serves 95 kindergarten students and their families, and its objective is to provide quality, holistic Christian education in a loving, family-oriented environment.
