The Center for Disaster Preparedness Foundation, Inc. (CDP) is thrilled to announce its renewed partnership with Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) for an upcoming regional initiative titled “Pioneers for a Green Future: Green Income Prospects for Marginalized Young People.”

CDP Foundation and ASB S-SEA staff come together for a group photo as they conclude the Offline Kick-Off Workshop last October 31, 2025.

Running from 2025 to 2028, this newly approved project aims to support marginalized young people in the Philippines, Nepal, and Indonesia in building green enterprises—sustainable income opportunities that help protect the environment and reduce ecological degradation.

ASB will work closely with three local organizations leading the in-country implementation: READ Nepal, PALUMA Nusantara in Indonesia, and the CDP Foundation in the Philippines. Together, the partners will co-create pathways that enable young people to become champions of environmental sustainability and climate resilience within their communities.

“We are delighted to partner with ASB once again after our collaboration many years back,” shared Ms. Loreine dela Cruz, Executive Director of the CDP Foundation. “This renewed partnership marks an important step toward empowering young people to build a greener future for all.”

Through this initiative, CDP Foundation continues its mission of promoting inclusive, locally-led action and climate action, ensuring that youth—especially those from marginalized sector—have the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to lead the way toward a sustainable future.

Together, we’re paving the way for a generation of green pioneers.
