Banag Banag is an Australian-registered, not for profit organization of Filipino-Australians whose heritage can be traced back to the Bisaya speaking Visayas and Mindanao regions of the Republic of the Philippines. Over the years as explicitly stated in our objectives, we have embarked on a number of charitable works both here in Australia and in the Philippines. Examples of our on-going and future projects are:
annual scholarship program for four (4) financially disadvantaged students to attend a one-year industrial welding course at Don Bosco Technological Centre at Balamban, Cebu. All sixteen (16) previous graduates are now fully employed and providing for their families
support Bethlehem Day Care Centre in Cebu and the Bethlehem Communities in Australia who provide social housing, and education to underprivileged children who live in dump-sites at Inayawan, Cebu
"Quick Response Disaster Assistance Fund"- We supplied relief goods to the families of victims of typhoons Ondoy and Frank in Pavia, Ilo-ilo and Marikina, and also provided some funds for the rebuilding of a church at Dinagat Island, Surigao del Norte, Philippines
installation of pumpable deep-water wells (POSO in the bisaya dialect) some of which are already installed in strategic locations in Cebu, Leyte and Bohol
Youth self esteem and anti-bullying workshop for the children of Banag Banag members and other youths in the Blacktown area
Winter "soup-kitchen" feeding for the local homeless people of Blacktown
