The Alegado Foundation was founded in honor of Jacinto Rama Alegado and Gaudiosa Ingking Alegado. The values that Jacinto and Gaudiosa instilled in their children \u2014 community, education, and the conviction to uplift others in need \u2014 are the very principles that compelled their descendants to create the Alegado Foundation in 2007.<\/p>\n

Today, three generations of the Alegado line work alongside a group of incredible volunteers and partners to bring forth that vision of goodwill and effective global aid to life. Coming from a long line of educators and healthcare professionals, we believe that we can draw from our collective knowledge to create solutions that alleviate poverty and promote self-sufficiency. It is our hope that we may continue to build Jacinto and Gaudiosa’s legacy in a way that inspires our posterity to cultivate communities that uplift, self-sustain, and thrive.<\/p>\n
