MISSION: To provide educational assistance to children or siblings of Filipino soldiers killed or permanently incapacitated due to enemy action or in the course of their participation in disaster and relief operations.
VISION: Secured and consistent education support for children or dependent siblings of soldiers from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) killed in the name of peace; totally incapacitated due to enemy action; and those who die while performing disaster and relief operations for being vanguards of our freedom and national sovereignty.
HERO aims to help these children obtain a college or university degree, or a certificate in a vocational course, in order to give them a competitive chance in finding good and decent jobs or profession. This will in turn provide them a better opportunity to help their families and become productive members of our society.
