Serany Foundation Inc.: Uplifting the ‘Bangon’ Spirit in Binangonan
Growing up in public service, siblings Rhea, Carlos Ryan, and Cecilio Noe Ynares established Serany Foundation Inc. in 2009 with one purpose: to transform Binangonan by helping its marginalized sectors rise up (bangon, in Filipino).
“For me, there’s nothing more fulfilling than giving your life in service of those need it the most− our senior citizens, persons with disabilities, urban poor families, and residents in remote areas. They all matter.” Rhea shares.
Eight years after, the foundation continues to provide educational, medical, and livelihood assistance to thousands of indigents, with the help of its partners in the public and private sectors.
Among these are Misyon K*K (Kalusugan, Kabuhayan, Kagandahan), a medical and dental mission coupled with cooking demos, free haircut, and massage; wheelchair and medicine distribution for the elderly and the sick, and health insurance grants for poor families.
It also conducts regular feeding programs and scholarship grants for students, as well as alternative livelihood and training activities for out of school youth.
Additionally, the foundation conducts relief operations for calamity-stricken areas of Rizal, helping hundreds of families rise up and recover.
More than supporting their basic needs, the projects are aimed to empower the beneficiaries, and inspire them to help their fellow Binangonense as well.
“It’s great to see those we’ve helped now supporting our causes. And that’s how communities rise− when people share their time, effort, and resources to make a difference in the lives of others,” Rhea adds.
For its future endeavors, the foundation is more dedicated than ever to uplift more lives and build more empowered communities for a better Binangonan.
