May 3, 2025, will forever be a special date for all of us at Bootstrap Philippines Inc.
We had the immense honor of being invited to the 50th Anniversary Celebration of CRIBS Foundation Inc., a non-profit organization that has spent the last five decades providing care, healing, and hope to vulnerable children and survivors of abuse in the Philippines.
As a company deeply rooted in service and community empowerment, attending this milestone event reminded us that success isn’t just measured in numbers—it’s also measured in impact.
A Legacy of Compassion
Founded in 1974, CRIBS Foundation Inc. has been a sanctuary for infants and young girls in need of special protection. From its pioneering Receiving Home for abandoned and surrendered babies to the New Beginnings Program for young survivors of sexual abuse, CRIBS has consistently delivered care with dignity and love.
During the event, we listened to powerful stories of transformation—stories of children who have found healing, hope, and new beginnings through CRIBS. It was more than moving—it was a call to action.
Bootstrap’s Commitment Beyond Business
At Bootstrap, our mission has always been clear: to help SMEs grow by making procurement more efficient, accessible, and empowering. But we believe business should also be a force for good.
Being part of CRIBS’ golden anniversary celebration reminded us of the importance of giving back—not only to businesses but to society at large. We are proud to say that supporting organizations like CRIBS is now a cause we deeply care about and are committed to.
As we celebrate milestones in our own growth as a startup, we want to ensure we’re lifting others as we rise—especially those working tirelessly to protect the most vulnerable members of our community.
