Across the Philippines, the challenge of building sustainable local economies persists.

At the Rotary Club of Fort Bonifacio Global City, we are dedicated to empowering communities by strengthening local economies to help create sustainable, thriving communities.

How We Make Help Happen: Our Impact on Local Economies

RCFBGC supports local economic growth through various community initiatives. Our projects aim to enhance livelihoods, promote entrepreneurship, and foster self-sufficiency in communities across the Philippines.

RCFBGC makes amazing things happen, like:

• Community-Based Economic Support
  • Community Pantry w/ RC Metro San Pedro
    
    

On July 10, 2021, the club collaborated with the Rotary Club of Metro San Pedro and various organizations to launch a Community Pantry project in San Pedro City. This initiative provided essential food items to 345 families from six different barangays, focusing on indigent individuals, people with disabilities, and senior citizens. The project not only addressed immediate needs during the pandemic but also promoted environmental sustainability by encouraging the use of reusable bags.

• • Rotary Homes Donation
    
    

As part of its CSR arm, DDC Land Inc., a company owned by then-Governor Edna Sutter, made a generous donation to RCFBGC. The donation of ₱1,720,000 was made to support the Rotary Homes Foundation, Inc. in completing 60 units of Rotary Homes in San Dionisio, Parañaque City. This donation exemplifies the commitment of the club and its partners to addressing housing needs and improving living conditions for vulnerable communities in the Philippines.

• Employment Opportunities
  • Job Fairs
    
    

RCFBGC actively supports employment initiatives through co-hosted job fairs. Notable events include the District Mega Job & Business Fair at Glorietta 3, Makati (February 5-6, 2016) and a job fair with RC Makati Poblacion (November 8, 2013). These events connect job seekers with employers, contributing to local economic growth and helping community members find employment opportunities.

• Sustainable Enterprise Development
  • Bamboo for Environment & Livelihood
    
    

The BIG PH project promotes sustainable economic growth and environmental conservation by planting approximately 300,000 bamboo propagules across key locations, including Rizal, Antipolo, and Bataan. This initiative creates livelihoods for indigenous communities while mitigating climate change. In collaboration with DDC Land, the project integrates eco-innovations like recycling over 14 million plastic bottles into housing materials and installing solar panels in eco-friendly homes. These efforts highlight a transformative approach to environmental sustainability and community empowerment, embodying a shared vision for a greener, more resilient future.
