Our Staff:

We have competent staff that tackle progressive plans to carry out programs and proud to say that ninety (90%) of our staff are members of indigenous communities and a significant number of them coming from the second or third generation decendants of ancestral domain claimants who had lobbied for the recognition of ancestral domain claim and won.
