Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives
At Shepherd’s Arms, we don’t just give aid—we build opportunity. Guided by the belief “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime,” we empower families in Cebu and Bohol with livelihood projects—from farming and fishing to small business startups—so they can thrive independently.
But we don’t stop there. Our food security initiatives, like community restaurants (pay-what-you-can or eat for free), ensure no one goes hungry. And the results speak for themselves:
-
5 communities transformed—families now self-sufficient
-
New community hubs—Bible studies, literacy centres, and even a church
-
Stories of hope—like the farmer whose land became a safe haven for children, doubling as a Sunday school and learning centre
