Association of Filipino-American Freemasons four-part mission has one goal: to change and improve lives of those who live in the Philippines and in the greater Chicago area. We do this in disadvantaged locations by providing free medical services, permanent clean drinking water wells, supplies for distressed elementary school children, and educational grants.

Working with medical professionals, we fund expeditions into Philippine cities that struggle with the care of their citizens. At our events we provide in part or all of the following: surgical care, medical services, dental services, vision care, legal counselling, and prescription/nutrient supplies.

As a archipelago, the Philippines struggles with providing their +117 million citizens with clean drinking water. As part of our outreach campaigns, we locate rural villages in need of nearby clean water sources. We have been fortunate to be able to work with local well installers who are able to reach these area and install wells within our funding limits.

Being able to get an basic education is something we take for granted. For other parts of the world, this is not always the case. For many of the distressed families in the Philippines, they struggle to provide the barest of necessities. Basic school supplies many times is out of reach. It is not uncommon for elementary school children to work in the fields to purchase these items. During our outreach campaigns, we reach out to the local schools and hold an event to assist children who the teachers know have limited resources. During these events we provide in part or all of the following: backpacks, pencils, erasers, notebooks, footwear, and either a hot meal or foodstuffs.

State universities are now tuition free. But that does not cover all of the other expenses one would need to cover. We provide a grant program to assist with these needs. The application program looks for potential students with high GPAs but are without the means to attend higher education without assistance.

For the greater Chicago area, we coordinate with other local charities. This may be in either financial and/or labor assistance.
