About ASKI Foundation
ASKI Foundation Inc. is an institution that caters to the need of the marginalized and less-privileged families and households in areas where ASKI operates. Being the corporate social responsibility arm of ASKI Group, the Foundation carries out programs on community development, health, education, environment, shelter, and outreach whose objectives are to improve the socio-economic condition, health, and nutrition, support education needs, instill social concern and awareness to protect the environment, provide resilient housing and improve sanitation and provide access to basic social services of our target clienteles which includes farmers, men, women, indigenous people, persons with disabilities, children, senior citizens, and disadvantaged families. ASKI's outreach and ministry started almost simultaneously with its Microfinance Institution (MFI) back in 1987. Informally, together with its MFI outreach, ASKI has been reaching out to its clients in need of assistance not only financially, but in socially and spiritually as well, especially in times of dire necessity. Seeing the need for an institution to focus on ministry, ASKI decided to register ASKI Foundation as an accredited organization with SEC whose thrusts is to help the needy in Luzon.
