GreenEarth Heritage Foundation, Inc.

We are a farm, a burgeoning reforestation site, an organic agricultural development, a haven of peace and tranquility, and a promise of a better tomorrow for the members of
our growing community.

We are a non-stock, non-profit organization that was founded
on May 22, 2009 upon receiving a donation of over 100 hectares (246 acres) of land at the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains in San Miguel, Bulacan, Philippines. We are
the only non-government organization serving this geographic region.

Over the last two years, we have busied ourselves with reviving our once arid and denuded land by planting thousands of forest hardwoods and fruit-bearing trees in order to turn our land into an Eden. We are determined to reverse the wanton destruction caused by deforestation in the area.

To date, we have a thriving and ever-expanding organic plantation of vegetables, herbs and root crops. We are now growing over twenty (20) varieties of organically grown
produce that are distributed to an increasing number of farm-to-table customers weekly. Because of this fair trade scheme, our beneficiaries' incomes have quadrupled from their pre-GreenEarth baseline and 100% of GreenEarth farmers have become voluntary contributors and beneficiaries of the national Social Security and Philhealth Programs, something they have never even heard of before GreenEarth came.

In February 2011, GreenEarth gained international distinction by receiving the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Organic GreenSeal. Through the help of the Organic Farmers and Processors Association of the Philippines (OFPAP), GreenEarth hurdled accreditation and certification standards of the Organic Crop Improvement Association, one of the world's oldest, largest and most trusted leaders in the organic certification industry. To date, GreenEarth is one out of only two USDA certified-organic Moringa farms and producer of Moringa leaves in the Philippines.

In line with our holistic approach, we seek not only to transform land but also to transform lives. We aim to promote Livelihood, Literacy, and God-centered Lifestyles.

Aside from greening our donated land and providing vital training and sustainable livelihoods centered in organic agriculture to a growing number of farming families, we have simultaneously addressed the educational needs of our farmers' children and community service members.

Despite our serious challenges in agriculture, it was difficult to turn a blind eye to the plight of the children of GreenEarth. Many have to walk three hours round-trip, which includes crossing a bridgeless river and unpaved roads by foot, every single day in order to reach school. A majority are malnourished, extremely fatigued and with a high degree of absenteeism from school during the rainy seasons. It was not a surprise to us therefore to discover that majority of the children could not really pass age-appropriate cognitive tests when they were assessed by educators.

In light of this problem, we launched our Child Sponsorship and Early Reading and Literacy program. However, in August of 2010, with a dream and a vision to continue to surge forward, we had plans drawn up for a Learning Center onsite. Fundraising commenced immediately. God Almighty has blessed this vision! We met our timelines and rejoice at this building's completion on March 31st 2011!

We now have a modest Learning Center right on GreenEarth.
