Lighting the way

For too long, XDP has kept families and communities in the dark — but not today.

Our mission has always been clear — to blaze a trail in the fight against XDP: Cutting-edge research rooted in compassion. Holistic care rooted in innovation. A two-fold promise to illuminate the shadows with the best in scientific and social breakthroughs. Spurred on by our patients and partners, each day brings us one step closer to the cure; to finding a new ray of hope. Ang pag-asa sa bagong sikat ng araw.

COMPASSION

We always put you first.

What began as a search for answers has become a call to serve. We are more than just a research institution. We know each face, each name, going beyond medical care to provide the best in psychological, spiritual and family counseling. Because at the end of the day, our work will always be about people.

COLLABORATION

We’re stronger together.

In providing the foremost support for XDP, we continue to work with the most reliable and credible partners. From cutting-edge research at the Collaborative Center for XDP at the Massachusetts General Hospital to leading livelihood programs with the International Institute for Rural Reconstruction — we know we’re in good company.

COMMITMENT

We deliver over and beyond.

Since 2014, we’ve funded rigorous scientific and medical research in the Philippines and around the world, helping hundreds of patients get the best care and treatment for XDP. Guided by our ultimate goal of finding the cure, we strive to give our patients and partners the best medical care and research possible.

CUTTING-EDGE

We’re taking it to the next level

We believe in the power of curiosity — the what-ifs and why-nots. Backed by the latest research and advanced fieldwork, we push boundaries to provide effective treatments and progressive solutions for the multi-faceted challenges surrounding XDP patients and their families.
