WHO WE ARE

HOW WE STARTED

HERO Foundation, Incorporated was instituted in 1988. As there was a growing and continuing requirement to help the families of fallen soldiers, they approached a group of distinguished leaders of business and industry of the country and appealed for help.

Among the well-respected businessmen who responded to the call were Don Jaime Zobel de Ayala, Henry Sy, Sr., Washington SyCip, Patricio Lim, and Raul Concepcion. The business group then established HERO Foundation, Inc

 

HERO stands for Help, Educate and Rear Orphans. Since then, the foundation has been providing educational support to military orphans. The financial support helps keep orphans in school as it covers much-needed requirements such as school supplies, transportation, meals, and even a portion of their tuition fee.

For 35 years now, the foundation has not wavered in its commitment to provide educational support to the children of our soldiers and ensure that they have a better chance at a brighter future.
