ABOUT US
Project Davao was founded in 2015 and celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025, making it one of the longest-running OCIPs in LKC! We serve the Langub and Gumalang barangays in Davao City, Philippines, working not only to address their long-term health needs, but also to build long-lasting ties and relationships with the locals.
Our long-standing partners are Sowing the Master’s Seed Ministry (SMSM), a charitable organisation based in Davao, and our mentor, Associate Professor Eric Yap Peng Huat, who have supported the project since its inception. Led by Rod and Nelly, SMSM has extensive ties within the local community, enabling us to conduct our health education and outreach initiatives that directly benefit the locals.
In addition, we also collaborate with Dr Mae Dolendo, a paediatric oncologist, who has paved the way for many initiatives Project Davao has today, including our multiple health screening programmes. We continue to work closely with her in hopes of expanding our initiatives for House of Hope and creating a stronger impact in Davao. (Read more here: House of Hope)
We also work with Davao Medical School Foundation Inc. (DMSF), Davao's top medical school, to engage in meaningful exchanges and participate in their community involvement activities.
