Ten Foundations Signature Schoolbags
Meet our three signature schoolbags - Pag-asa, Malakas, and Aruga - each handcrafted with purpose by skilled artisans in the Philippines. They're symbols of the hope, strength, and care shared between the women who make them and the children who carry them.

Who We Are
A non-profit, purpose-driven charity founded in Belfast by Ian Campbell in 2012, Ten Foundations aims to empower women living in extreme poverty in the Philippines by helping them break free from the relentless cycle of poverty—where limited access to education, stable income, and healthcare prevents families from improving their circumstances across generations.
