Pure Bayanihan Partners with Uma Nota to Raise ₱1 Million for Empowering Filipino Communities

Funds raised through the partnership of Pure Bayanihan and Uma Nota will be directed towards supporting the nonprofit organization’s projects in helping to build the livelihood of Filipino families in underserved communities. 

Pure Bayanihan, a U.S. registered nonprofit organization dedicated to creating sustainable livelihoods for communities in poverty, has successfully raised ₱1 million in partnership with Uma Nota, the rising culinary destination in Manila. Through the collaboration, Uma Nota organized the initiative “Dine with a Purpose,” which allowed diners to donate to Pure Bayanihan, with the goal of raising funds and helping to fulfill the nonprofit’s mission of lifting Filipino communities by alleviating poverty.

Pure Bayanihan, a US-registered 501(c)3 nonprofit with a goal of creating one million livelihoods for people living in poverty, is proud to announce the official launch of its nationwide initiative aimed at alleviating poverty in the Philippines through sustainable livelihood programs. With a current poverty rate of 15.5%, down from 18.1% in 2021, the nation still faces significant challenges, with over 17.5 million people living below the poverty line. Limited access to quality education and stable employment opportunities, particularly in rural areas, has hindered many Filipinos from achieving economic stability.
