My Mountain Mover brings aid, medical care and workshops to a Camotes Island community
On March 15, 2025, the charitable arm of outsourcing company My Mountain Mover (MMM) ran a full-day community outreach in Barangay Villahermosa, Tudela, on Camotes Island in Cebu. Working through its Greater Heights Foundation and in partnership with JCI Cebu, MMM combined material aid with health care, activities for children and a lasting improvement to local infrastructure.
What they did, by the numbers
- 200 hygiene kits and grocery packages distributed to families in the barangay.
- 150 patients given free medical check-ups and consultations by volunteer doctors.
- 50 children taking part in talent workshops.
- 60-plus volunteers, including MMM staff, healthcare workers and local leaders.
- Around $4,000 in donated items, services and infrastructure improvements.
- A renovation of the barangay health center, completed to improve local access to care.
The renovation of the health center is the piece most likely to outlast the day itself: in a remote island barangay, a functioning health facility is a standing asset rather than a one-off distribution.
The partners
Greater Heights Foundation is MMM's charity arm, and the company roots its giving in its founding ethos. Rebecca Ketcham-Hannah, Managing Director for Marketing and Events, explained the motivation:
"Because we are a company founded on faith, we knew from day one that we wanted to find an impactful way to give back."
The Camotes outreach was delivered jointly with JCI Cebu, a local chapter of Junior Chamber International, the global network of young leaders and entrepreneurs known for community-development projects. The partnership let MMM pair its funding and staff volunteers with an established local civic organisation and volunteer medical professionals.
How it fits MMM's wider giving
The Camotes trip was not a standalone gesture. According to MMM's account, Greater Heights Foundation had previously provided ventilators for hospitals, sewing machines for prisoners, sanitation kits for children and meals for nurses - a pattern of targeted, needs-specific donations rather than blanket cash giving. The company situates this work against the scale of Philippine poverty, noting that roughly three million families live below the poverty line.
The mix of activities maps onto several UN Sustainable Development Goals: the medical mission and health-center renovation speak to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), the hygiene kits to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), the food packages to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 1 (No Poverty), and the children's workshops to SDG 4 (Quality Education).
Why it matters
Reaching a barangay on Camotes Island - separated from mainland Cebu by a sea crossing - takes more logistical effort than an urban outreach, and remote island communities routinely sit at the back of the queue for both public services and corporate philanthropy. By combining immediate relief (food, hygiene kits) with clinical care and a permanent facility upgrade, and by delivering roughly $4,000 of value with 60-plus volunteers on the ground, MMM's Greater Heights Foundation aimed the day at both the acute and the structural. For an outsourcing firm whose revenue is generated by Philippine talent, investing in under-served Philippine communities also closes a visible loop between where the company earns and where it gives back.
