Weaving the threads of the social net

The specialists of the Bethlehem Mission Immensee are actively engaged in projects which strengthen communities in their cultural and religious identity and in their commitment for peace, in projects that fight poverty and corruption, and support the joint responsibility for the environment and livelihood. Important partners of the BMI in the Philippines are the Catholic Church and its local networks as well as one NGO committed to the interreligious peace work.

The Country Program Philippines describes the thematic priorities and the goals of our work in details.
