Aboitiz InfraCapital team members, alongside Arnold Janssen Kalinga Foundation representatives, deliver donations as part of the “Care that Creates Brighter Days” outreach initiative.
As part of its ongoing commitment to uplifting communities, Aboitiz InfraCapital, Inc. (AIC) recently partnered with the Arnold Janssen (AJ) Kalinga Foundation, Inc. for the latter’s “Kain, Aral, Ligo Nang Umayos” (KALINGA) Program—an initiative that restores dignity, care, and connection to individuals experiencing homelessness.
Last December 10, 2025, AIC launched its first “Care that Creates Brighter Days” activity at AJ Kalinga Foundation in Sta. Cruz, Manila, meeting the foundation’s in-house volunteers—formerly homeless individuals who are now preparing to graduate from the foundation’s nurturing program.
Their stories of transformation, resilience, and service added meaningful perspective to the experience, showing how compassion and structured support can open doors toward renewed purpose.
“At Aboitiz InfraCapital, we believe that simple acts of care can uplift lives, and our partnership with the AJ Kalinga Foundation reflects our commitment to supporting communities with dignity and compassion,” said AIC Head of People & Culture Maylene R. Briones.
The AJ Kalinga Foundation, established in 2017, envisions a society where the lives of the homeless and the wounded are recreated and empowered, and considers its mission to provide dignified, systematic, and holistic care to the homeless and the wounded.
For the outreach proper, AIC TMs then immersed themselves in the KALINGA’s core activities: assisting beneficiaries in the bath queue, offering light coaching and heartfelt conversations, reinforcing the foundation’s culture of care, and serving meals with warmth and respect. These small but meaningful interactions emphasized the program’s belief that dignity begins with being seen, heard, and cared for.
To help brighten the beneficiaries’ day, AIC TMs also shared simple donations, including coffee, chocolate drinks, and hygiene essentials such as body wash—tokens of comfort that supported their immediate needs.
Through Care that Creates Brighter Days, AIC reaffirms its commitment to creating positive impact. This also aligns with AIC’s Shared Value Creation Framework, which enables self-sufficient, empowered, and progressive communities by investing in human capital, creating employment opportunities and taking care of the environment .
This outreach further reflects AIC’s belief that even small acts of kindness can spark hope, strengthen communities, and uplift lives—one meaningful connection at a time.
