Gifts of any size are welcome!

Over 30 families and individuals have donated generously to our Camiguin LIFE Program. With their support we have surpassed the $5,000 New Pathways committed as a matching fund! Any surplus raised above $10,000 will go toward LIFE expansion on Camiguin Island. Despite a pause to our project launch due to Covid, we are getting reading to launch in 2022. Due to high inflation we are requesting additional donations to offset higher costs of Food House construction and stocking expenses.

16 families and individuals have donated $500 each at the Explorer Level to the Camiguin LIFE Project.  We would be thrilled if you would join in supporting our project at this level. All donors at the Explorer level will be recognized on a founders’ plaque at the LIFE site, and in an opening ceremony at the site.

Current Founders at the Explorer Level are: The Florendo Family, Lacanienta Family, McConnell Family, McGlynn Family, Mosqueda Antillon Family, Mosqueda Thompson Family, Mosqueda Hoover Family, Robinson Family, de Leon – Khanna Family, Beatrice Dane, Trevor Muehlfelder, Kevin Simonds, Rhonda Tomlinson, Marty and Doris Gannon; in honor of Rene Villa, and in honor of William Lee Wallick and Jason E. Sarmiento.

New Pathways is thrilled to be working in partnership with Josie Thompson and her mother, Salome Mosqueda; and the Camiguin Provincial Government, led by Governor Jurdin Jesus Romualdo, along with his wife and LIFE proponent Ma. Luisa Romualdo. Our purpose is to expand New Pathways’ Livestock Integrated Food Enterprise (LIFE) program to Camiguin Island!

This innovative approach to small-scale, “green” farming features Food Houses (similar to greenhouses) with vegetables grown at waist height, making them easier to tend, and space beneath for raising chickens; free to run within a fenced enclosure.

Our immediate goal is to enable a group of 20 women for sustainable livelihood providing income in support of their families’ basic needs. Our long-term goal is to expand the LIFE program to 100s of women across the island, led by Camiguin agricultural specialists who complete the LIFE Train the Trainers program. We are proud to be working in partnership with Camiguin Provincial Governor Romualdo, who is an enthusiastic partner and co-sponsor of this project.
