Social Worker based in San Antonio, Quezon  

Sorok Uni Foundation Inc. is a non-profit organization working for the empowerment and social inclusion of Persons Affected with Leprosy and Homeless Urban/Rural Poor.

Sorok Uni envisions a world where the homeless, abandoned, neglected individuals and families who suffer from social stigma and economic restrictions will rise. They would all be empowered and emancipated. They would extend help to those who need it, as they have been helped. Such act of kindness would be repeated until there will be no more forgotten neighbors in the world.

Sorok Uni believes that in order to achieve its vision, it is important to first address the capacity of the individual or the family to provide basic necessities for him/herself/ themselves. CORE VALUES Love the Lord our God, above all We greatly appreciate all of God’s blessings to us from the gift of life, our capabilities, up to our earthly possessions. We give back all the glory to him by putting His words and wisdom first on our everyday lives in and outside of our workplace. Love our Country Regardless of our race or nationality, we commit ourselves to help in the development of our homelands and our countrymen. It is our obligation to know, understand and learn from our histories. We strive to eradicate apathy and advance patriotism by initiating change within our sphere. Love our Neighbors We inspire others by doing good to all. We believe that kindness and love are cures to existing social diseases and that it should be shared too all, regardless of religion, age or status in life. Love our Organization as a whole We channel our own ambitions to the organization and each member serve as our inspiration. We believe in collective success- “the rise of the organization is the triumph of all; its downfall will also be our defeat.” PHILOSOPHY “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” Sorok has started out as a dole out organization. However, in its journey in helping PALs, the organization has learned that it cannot continue forever providing for its beneficiaries. Such method will only make them dependent and unproductive. This led to the organization’s adoption of the above philosophy, “Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”.
