Why “Ako Ang Saklay”

A crutch is more than support.

The name means “I am the crutch”—a promise of support, accompaniment, and partnership while people rebuild strength and shape their own future.

From its center in San Antonio, Nueva Ecija, the organization responds to poverty, health challenges, disasters, and life in crisis through human development, spiritual formation, skills training, education, counseling, and community care.
