Job Opening: Project Director Literacy for Peace and Development (LIPAD) Project

The Magbassa Kita Founda­tion, Inc. (MKFI), is a non-stock, non-profit, non-government organization dedicated to the promotion of literacy, poverty alleviation, and peace especially in Mindanao.

MKFI was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1991 and launched that same year.

The Magbassa Kita Foundation got its name from the “Magbassa Kita” literacy project, which former Senator Santanina T. Rasul launched in 1966.   “Magbassa Kita is a Tausug phrase which means “let us read”.

Its mission is anchored in the philosophy that literacy, education and economic empowerment are preconditions for the meaningful participation of individuals in society.

While maintaining literacy promotion as its major area of concern over the years, MKFI expanded its activities to include livelihood skills training, capa­bility building among farmers, and other economic empowerment initiatives.

MKFI realized that changing the quality of life in Mindanao requires addressing the armed conflict and the unstable peace and order situation, Thus in 2001 it launched its peace advocacy program by training women from the areas of conflict as peace advocates and agents of change.
