Geschichte

'Buhay Ko Bayan Ko' is a Tagalog Phrase for 'my life my country', often expressed out of deep-rooted affection for one's people and country. This affinity holds true for many Filipinos living outside the Philippines.

The Philippines is a country of more than 7'000 Islands with a population of 104 Million; 33% are under 14 years old, overall under 52% under 24 years old. Although rich in natural resources, the country has remained poor, primarily due to corruption in the government, insurgencies, a high number of drug addiction cases, criminalities - all These left unchecked for decades, tearing apart the very social fabric of the society, the family!

The Filipinos are very family oriented. The aspiration, to see a better Philippines for their children and to contribute to the country's sustainable development, is an integral part of their being.

Buhay Ko Bayan Ko was formed by Filipinos in Switzerland, with the intention to give something back to their country of origin.

The community Projects of Buhay Ko Bayan Ko are initiated and implemented by its professional and skilled members. The Projects are focused on Education, Livelihood, Healthcare, Disaster Relief, and Environment.

To ensure Projects are executed appropriately and direct to the target community, Buhay Ko Bayan Ko members are personally on the ground, as Project Managers and Field Workers.
