Goducate aims to help Asians help themselves because Goducate believes
that its projects must be sustainable ones.
To ensure that this philosophy is entrenched in our culture our main training center, the Goducate Training Center in Iloilo, Philippines (where almost all Goducate’s future workers are trained) is designed to “help itself” and to be self-sustainable.
Besides the usual classrooms, dormitories and “laboratories” of a usual educational institution, GTC is designed with recreational and food and beverage (F&B) facilities to cater to visitors, especially educational tour groups from schools, universities, governmental
bodies and business corporations.
GTC has been designated as a tourism-site by the Municipality of San Miguel. Its cutting-edge agricultural projects and plots showcase modern Asian agriculture. Its agricultural faculty and students lead the edu-groups on interesting and informative tours that teach about modern, scientific, sustainable farming for the future.
After these edu-tours, visitors are invited to enjoy GTC’s recreational facilities and F&B outlets. The revenue raised from the water-park, dipping pool, zip-lines, rock-climbing, horse-riding, fishing and restaurant is used to upgrade and maintain GTC and to provide scholarships for its trainees.
Besides this source of revenue from edu-tours, GTC trainees also work
on their agricultural plots. What they grow not only provides food for themselves, but more importantly teaches them the skills of modern sustainable agriculture—skills that they will share when they go into poor communities to help needy Asians help themselves.
