Driving innovation
for a sustainable
future for all

We empower communities through responsible solutions and collaboration with groups who share in our values.

Sulu Garden Foundation is named after the Sulu Sea – the largest inland sea in the Philippines. Our mission concentrates on this sea and the provinces that surround it. These provinces have diverse cultures and religions, yet, they all share history and traditions.

We aim to contribute

To the improvement of the quality of life of the communities surrounding this inland sea through its PRIDE Program which include Heritage awareness and preservation of history and culture.
To the development of applied scientific knowledge, useful to preserve the environment and knowledge-based scientific approaches to improve the health and economic welfare of the people.
To create linkages to these communities through the Arts Program of the Foundation with a view of bringing old and indigenous craftsmanship to connect with the modern world.

Reforesting the Philippines - One Island at a Time

Miag-ao, Iloilo, Philippines — The Philippines has been ravaged by deforestation. Our country has seen a massive decline in its forests, particularly during the last 124 years. Reforestation is a necessary activity to mitigate the effects of the continuing trend of Global Warming. But restoration of the country’s forest cannot be accomplished by planting trees one at a time.
