MFI is currently involved in five major programs.

MFI launched its Home Education for Accessible Learning (HEAL) Program in 2015 to provide quality education up to senior high school to underprivileged, out-of-school youth as well as adult learners.

Many students in elementary and high school drop out because they are unable to attend their daily classes as they need to work or help out their family - a trade-off between schooling and family obligation. But it need not be that way. HEAL aims to get these out-of-school youth to finish up to senior high school without taking them

("HEAL") PROGRAM

MFI currently covers out-of-school youth in marginalized communities in Parañaque and has expanded its reach by running the program for the Rotary Club of Makati as well. To help launch our program, the City Government of Parañaque generously made available the Masville Day Care Center as our initial tutorial site. Presently, our centers are located in Our Lady of Peace Parish and Villa Paraiso, both in Parañaque, and easily accessible to our learners.

As HEAL expands, it is our dream that no student will ever have to give up schooling again.

out of their homes. They study from home but we have tutorial centers where they can get guidance on their school work. Having a high school diploma can significantly increase their chance of subsequently getting relevant technical training (e.g. from TESDA) or going into college (by securing scholarships or as working students). HEAL falls under the Department of Education’s Home Education Program and uses DepEd's approved modules.

The Philippines has consistently ranked low in math and science. We do not produce as many graduates in these disciplines. Yet with the rapid development of technology, science-based careers will be very much in demand. Moreover, to truly raise the quality of education in our country, we need to likewise lift the quality of our educators. MFI puts priority on critical learning

paths. So to boost interest and encourage students to pursue STTEEM, MFI has partnered with the PHINMA Foundation, Inc. to provide financial grants to deserving students in various colleges and universities in the country. It also supports beneficiaries in the UP College of Medicine and Don Bosco Training Center in Nueva Ecija.

We long to see the day when the Filipino youth will excel in the fields of science, mathematics, engineering and education, and contribute to the growth and development of the country.

The deaf, mute, blind, lame - they need not be helpless and always dependent on other people. But many of them remain unproductive due to lack of access to education or training tailored to their physical limitations. We believe that with proper training and access to opportunities, they can be integrated into the workforce and gain independence. This MFI program offers grants to beneficiaries enrolled in the Resources for the Blind, Inc., Philippine Institute for the Deaf and the Tahanang Walang Hagdanan.

SCHOLARSHIP FOR THE DIFFERENTLY ABLED

The country's indigenous people, while not physically disabled, are similarly handicapped in finding livelihood opportunities due to lack of basic education. MFI partnered with the Jesuits for the education of indigenous people, initially in Bukidnon, in the hope that this will jumpstart their upliftment in life.

These special people may be short in physical capacity or almost forgotten by society, but their courage and drive to improve their lot more than make up for these limitations. Such enthusiasm for life deserves our utmost support.

We believe that spiritual maturity is fundamental and critical in transforming lives. Peace and order in marginalized communities can be better achieved if members are spiritually nourished. Spiritual maturity also inspires pursuing a better quality of life. This is where priests play a central role. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of priests and many of those who are called cannot afford the cost of education in seminaries. This MFI program provides educational grants and living allowances to selected seminarians currently in the Rogationist, St. Vincent School of Theology - Adamson Ozanam, San Carlos seminaries, and the Camillian Fathers.
