Détails du programme

Volunteering at our organic farm will give you an opportunity to learn about sustainable organic farming in practice with the planting, maintenance, and harvesting of various food sources. Simultaneously, you will be contributing to the development of the indigenous community of the Baclayan village through nurturing of the local children. The Stairway organic farm living facilities were renovated in 2022, and it offers accommodation through lodging in two dormitories of up to two people in each. Food for making breakfast and dinner will be provided while lunch is served at the Baclayan Mangyan School during the weekdays. The fully operational kitchen is available in the living quarters for when the volunteer wishes to cook. The facilities also offer a large common area in connection with the kitchen which can be used by volunteers on demand.

Activités et horaires

As a volunteer on our organic farm, you will be helping us to cultivate and harvest food sources in collaboration with our two resident agriculturists. Depending on the season, we expect the workload to be around 5-6 hours a day, 5 times a week. The organic farm was initiated in 2009 and produces a large variety of crops, vegetables, and fruits. It is located right next to the school, and it has delivered a significant portion of the products consumed at the school feeding program. Since the implementation of the feeding program, school attendance has drastically increased 10 times from around 20 to 200 children. The program has successfully pulled most of the indigenous children in Baclayan into school. Aside from providing the food, Stairway is also distributing school supplies for all the children at the beginning of the school year.
