Carrying the mission together, creating lasting impact! πβ¨
Huge congratulations to JCI Iloilo Ilang Ilang especially our Director for Community Development, Reesa Isabel D. Facon-Nonescan, for winning the JCI Philippines Sustain360 Project Pitching Challenge 2026 with Project Tuwang!π΅ππ
Rooted in the Hiligaynon word βTuwang,βmeaning carrying a responsibility together, the project is built on a simple belief: lasting change happens when inclusion becomes a shared responsibility.
Project Tuwang brings together people, communities, and institutions toward a more inclusive futureβone where opportunities are sustained, participation is strengthened, and no one is left behind, because sustainability is not only about what we create today, but what we can continue building together tomorrow.π€π±
And this is only the beginning.
We canβt wait to see the ripple effect of Project Tuwang during JCI Sustainability Week this August 22β29! πβ¨
Congratulations as well to all the Area winners across the Philippines who are turning local ideas into lasting impact.
