Barangay Sapang Uwak is situated in Porac, Pampanga. An Aeta tribe and 900 more families dwell in this mountainous region near Mt. Pinatubo. Farming is their primary source of income; they grow ube, ginger, turmeric, papaya, banana, gabi, labanos, and other vegetables. The area is also known as one of Pampanga's highest terrain. Despite the rough roads and uphill trek, this community is still quite accessible for motor vehicles.
In this mountainous region, local farmers cultivated their crops. While they are accustomed to life in the highlands, they face difficulties to transport their goods to the market because it is situated a good distance from their community. The cost of transporting their products is around Php600 to Php1,000 for one trip, which may increase even further due to the escalating diesel and gas prices in the world market. This amount already takes away a significant portion of their income.
To help them with their expensive tricycle rentals, a group of farmers sought transportation services from their barangay unit. However, the local barangay unit also lacks the resources to grant their request for help.
Through a partnership between the local officials and Barangay Walang Iwanan (BWI), this fundraising campaign was initiated in order to support our local farmers from Barangay Sapang Uwak. Help us in empowering Aeta farmers through providing them with better access transportation services, so they may sell their products in the city with less costs. They will be able to save and increase their income, which they can utilize for their families’ daily needs.
The total estimated cost of the project is Php82, 634, which will be used to purchase a motorcycle and a sidecar.

When an act of kindness multiplies, it helps more people. Everyone can help, no matter how small or big. As long as it comes from the heart, we can persuade more people to help. Financial scarcity is not an obstacle to helping those who are in need.
Growing vegetables in the mountains and selling harvested crops in the market are the main livelihoods of the local IPs in barangay Sapang Uwak. The market is significantly distant from their residences, resulting in high transportation costs for their harvested crops. Consequently, they struggle to generate sufficient income from vegetable sales due to the substantial amount spent on transportation.
The "kolong-kolong," or transportation services provided by Synchrony, are a big help to our Aeta farmers in Barangay Sapang Uwak. They will no longer have to pay a high rental fee for tricycles to transport their vegetables. Instead, farmers will only have to pay for fuel when they use the transportation service. The local team will ensure that all the farmers can access the transportation services provided to them.
The beneficiaries are very grateful for the wonderful opportunity you have given them. Your generosity shines as a beacon of hope for our less fortunate indigenous peoples. We are incredibly grateful to Synchrony for their steadfast support of our mission to build more resilient communities. May your open-handedness multiply to ensure that no farmer will be left behind.
