Welcome to the Friends of the Aeta people at Mount Pinatubo, Tarlac & Zambales, in the Philippines. The Aeta people are indigenous people who live in the isolated mountainous region and are considered to be Negritos, who are dark to very dark brown-skinned and tend to have features such as small statured with curly to kinky afro-like textured hair, small nose and dark brown eyes. The Aeta were included with the natives of the Malay Peninsula or sometimes, grouped with the natives of Australia and Papuans. However, they remain the forgotten people of the Philippines.

We are thrilled to establish a website to allow you to make donations to support the Aeta tribal villages with their critical needs: Water, Electricity, Health, Chapel Buildings, Transportation/Carabaos and other support to improve Livelihood.

The goal is to provide support and send hope to the Aeta people through your generous giving.
