FOUNDER STORY
Dr Marieta D. Monta, known as "Maya", the first Filipino in the UK to create this charity Foundation for a great cause. She was born on 4 May 1976 in Dipag 1, Manuel Guianga Tugbok, Davao City, Philippines, and is one of 11 siblings. Her early years were marked by hardship, including abuse by a family member at age eight.
At 13, Maya left her village seeking a better life and moved to the Middle East in 1997 to support her siblings. By 1999, she had relocated to the UK, working as a nanny and housekeeper.
After marrying a Filipino-British citizen, Maya’s husband sadly died of liver cancer in 2006 the day after their wedding, she faced unimaginable challenge that nearly cause her life.
Despite these traumatic experiences, Maya has channelled her pain into a mission to help others.​
