IT begins with small, everyday acts of kindness. Imagine a neighbor helping unload sacks of rice, a friend setting up a Facebook fundraiser for a sick loved one, or volunteers braving chest-deep floodwaters to carry children, the elderly or those with disabilities to safety. These simple, often overlooked acts reflect core Filipino values of 'kapwa' (shared identity) and 'bayanihan' (communal unity) — values that have long been the foundation of Filipino society.

Volunteerism is not only a reflection of our values but also a key driver in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Philippines. To nurture a culture of volunteerism, iVolunteer Philippines was created — a platform built by volunteers for volunteers. It bridges the gap between volunteers and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), offering a practical way for individuals to contribute their time and skills to causes that need support.
