Who we are

Anawim Lay Missions - giving a home and a warm embrace
to poor and abandoned elderly.

Anawim

Anawim is a small facility for poor and abandoned elderly people founded by Catholic lay preacher Bo Sanchez in Rizal Province, Philippines. Anawim Lay Missions opened its doors in 1996 to rejected and abandoned elderly who are roaming the streets. Its purpose is to provide a home, a sanctuary, to those poor and abandoned elderly who have nowhere else to go.

Our Mission

To build Catholic lay communities that provide Christian homes, evangelization and service to the poor and abandoned in society.

Our Vision

By the year 2020, we want to have ten (10) Anawim branches in different parts of the country, serving the poorest of the poor: abandoned elderly, orphans, street children, handicapped, drug dependents, unwed mothers, prostitutes, etc.
