HOPE Constructs 25 Classrooms in 2025, Strengthening Education Infrastructure
In a significant stride toward enhancing educational opportunities, HOPE, the Philippines' inaugural certified B Corp and a trailblazing impact organization, has successfully completed the construction of 25 public-school classrooms in 2025. This achievement is detailed in the organization's latest Impact Report, highlighting a collaborative effort with various partner organizations and businesses dedicated to social good.
Long-Term Commitment to Filipino Youth
Since its establishment in 2012, HOPE has now built a cumulative total of 167 classrooms across the nation. These facilities have provided safe and conducive learning environments for more than 53,000 Filipino children, with the benefits poised to extend to future generations of students. This ongoing initiative underscores HOPE's unwavering, long-term commitment to improving access to quality education for the youth of the Philippines.
HOPE recognizes the critical need for investments in the Philippine education sector, particularly in public school infrastructure. The organization places special emphasis on supporting last mile schools, which are located in remote and underserved areas of the country, ensuring that even the most isolated communities receive essential educational resources.
Leadership and Community Impact
Nanette Medved-Po, HOPE Chairperson and Founder, expressed profound gratitude for the collective efforts driving the organization's mission. I am deeply grateful to be rooted in the work of HOPE at a time when the world continues to ask so much of the human spirit, she stated. The past year was shaped by people who chose HOPE and translated that choice into action through partnerships, communities, and everyday decisions that moved our work forward.
She further emphasized the power of individual contributions, adding, To every individual who chooses to support, share, and participate, this is your impact. Your belief fuels this work and allows hope to reach more communities, classrooms, and futures across the Philippines.
Innovative Partnerships and Initiatives
A key highlight of HOPE's 2025 endeavors was the launch of Generation HOPE, a strategic partnership with some of the country's most beloved brands. This collaboration aims to address the urgent need for additional public-school classrooms nationwide. Partnering with prominent entities such as:

The 2025 classroom builds represent just one facet of a broader strategy to enhance learning environments and support the holistic development of Filipino students.
With a focus on innovation and collaboration, HOPE sets a precedent for how impact organizations can drive meaningful change in the education sector, inspiring others to join in the mission for a brighter future.
