Strength in Service: Caritas Novaliches and ADF’s 19 Years of Uplifting the Marginalized

As we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Assisi Development Foundation (ADF), I am deeply grateful for the enduring partnership between Caritas Novaliches and ADF. Since our formal establishment in 2005, ADF has been a steadfast ally in our mission to uplift the marginalized within the Diocese of Novaliches.

Before the Hapag-Asa Nutrition Program, many families in our community struggled with malnutrition and poverty. ADF’s initiative brought nutritious meals, health education, and holistic support—not only nourishing bodies but also strengthening spirits and igniting hope. The additional Manna Pack Rice from ADF has ensured that children receive essential nutrients for healthy growth.

For 19 years, ADF’s unwavering support has empowered Caritas Novaliches’ Health and Nutrition Program, transforming countless lives. This partnership has fostered resilience, faith, and a shared commitment to a more just and compassionate society.

I have personally witnessed the profound impact of our collaboration—thousands of malnourished children have been given a new lease on life. Through ADF’s generosity, we have not only provided sustenance but also empowerment and renewed hope for families in need.

Though our journey has had its challenges, the values embodied by Assisi have guided us, reminding us of our mission to serve with love and mercy. As we look ahead, I pray that our partnership with ADF continues to flourish, reaching even greater heights of impact.

With hearts full of gratitude, we honor ADF’s 50 years of service. On behalf of Caritas Novaliches, I extend my deepest appreciation for 19 years of faithful collaboration. May our shared mission continue to bear fruit, as we become true channels of God’s love and mercy.
