The Ruth Sembrano Foundation

2025 was a year of meaningful growth and impact for The Ruth Sembrano Foundation.

This year, we are proud to highlight:

• Our partnership with Cisco and the receipt of a grant to develop a curriculum that supports and empowers teachers

• The successful handover of newly built classrooms to Tabon Elementary School, providing students with safe and supportive learning environments

• The addition of Marie to our team in a full-time capacity, strengthening our organizational leadership and operational capacity

We are deeply grateful to our partners, supporters, and community who made these milestones possible. Together, we continue to advance access to quality education and long-term opportunity, and are excited for 2026.

Happy New Year!

On August 6, 2025, a massive fire broke out in Tondo, Manila – a community very close to our
hearts here in The Ruth Sembrano Foundation – leaving around 865 families homeless.

The Ruth Sembrano - Project PEARLS Clinic continues to serve our Tondo community through
free medical care. But with homes lost, a lot of the residents are in need of support to rebuild
their lives.

We have partnered again with our dear friends at Project PEARLS to raise funding for these
residents. We accept both monetary and in-kind donations like:

• Food & Clean Drinking Water – ready-to-eat meals, rice, canned goods, baby food/formula
• Clothing – shirts, pants, underwear, footwear, blankets
• Hygiene Kits – soap, shampoo, toothbrush/paste, sanitary pads, diapers
• Shelter Materials – mats, banig, folding beds, mosquito nets
• Cooking Materials

Please visit our website to make monetary donations.
