Kaubanan Civic Club — members helping members
Join a Filipino mutual-aid community — give what you can, when you can.
Who we are
The word Kaubanan comes from the Cebuano Kauban — companion, partner, one who stands beside another. We are a fellowship of members who help one another through illness, bereavement, hardship, and disaster, and who volunteer together for the communities we live in.
Our vision
To become the Philippines' leading civic brotherhood that promotes compassion, mutual assistance, volunteerism, and community empowerment through the enduring Filipino spirit of Bayanihan.
How we help
Four ways the Kaubanan Bayanihan Fund shows up for members and their families.
Medical Relief
Member helping member, voluntarily — support from the Bayanihan Fund when illness puts a family in the hospital.
Farewell Relief
Member helping member, voluntarily — easing funeral costs and standing with a family through their loss.
Community support
Members and volunteers showing up for each other across the Philippines.
Livelihood training
Build sustainable livelihoods through skills training, entrepreneurship support, and mentorship.
Built on Bayanihan
For generations, Filipinos have practiced bayanihan — neighbors lifting a nipa hut together so a family can move to safer ground. Kaubanan Club is that same idea, made modern: a community that pools small contributions so any member can be carried through a hospital stay, a funeral, or a hard week.
“When one of us is carried, all of us are stronger.”
Honest about what we are
Stronger Together
Join thousands of Filipino families standing with each other through hospital stays and bereavement.
