Your small, regular donations help L'Arche Philippines continue providing essential services and support to our community.
A Legacy of Love and Care
In a country where many profoundly handicapped individuals are often abandoned or neglected, our mission is to offer them a home and family life where they can grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
Creating Real Homes
Every person deserves a place to call home. For our core members, home is more than just a shelter—it's a sanctuary where they discover their gifts, build friendships, and know they are deeply valued.
What Home Means
At Biyaya House and our main community, residents don't just live together—they share meals, celebrate birthdays, support each other through challenges, and build lasting friendships.
Community Impact
Our community thrives through the connections between core members, assistants, families, and supporters like you. Together we create an environment where everyone can grow and contribute.
Daily Life Together
Every day brings opportunities for growth, learning, and connection. From morning routines to evening activities, our community members experience life in all its fullness.

Questions About Donating?
Where does my donation go?
Roughly 60% of what we receive goes to direct care and support for our core members, 20% to educational programs, 15% to facility maintenance, and 5% to operations and support. That means the large majority of every peso reaches the people who live in our homes.
Can I give monthly instead of once?
Yes. Monthly giving is the most useful kind of support we receive because it lets us plan ahead for food, care, and staffing rather than reacting month to month. You can set up a recurring gift at the ₱250, ₱1,000, or ₱5,000 level, or choose your own amount.
How much does a monthly gift actually cover?
₱250 a month helps cover daily essentials for a core member. ₱1,000 a month supports community programs and activities. ₱5,000 a month enables comprehensive care and community development, including therapy, specialised equipment, and facility improvements.
Who is Ang Arko ng Pilipinas, and how is it related to L’Arche?
Ang Arko ng Pilipinas, Inc. is the Philippine member of the International Federation of L’Arche, founded here in 1988 and based in Cainta, Rizal. Our community is also known as Punla. L’Arche communities worldwide share life between people with and without intellectual disabilities.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Please contact us at punla.larche@gmail.com before giving if you need documentation for tax purposes, and we will tell you exactly what we can issue for your situation.
Can I see how the money was used?
Yes. We are committed to transparency in how donations are used, and annual reports and financial statements are available on request. Email punla.larche@gmail.com and we will send you the most recent ones.
Can I support the community without giving money?
Yes. Schools, companies, and groups partner with us for outreach visits, volunteering, and service learning, and our core members sell handmade goods such as beadwork and an annual calendar featuring their own artwork. Visit our Get Involved page to start a conversation.
