She climbed mountains so others could rise.
Something powerful unfolded in our Bulacan community. Together with Climb Your Everest, Project PEARLS brought together a circle of women for a Leadership Workshop that felt more like a movement.
At the heart of it was Dr. Sara Safari, founder of Climb Your Everest and a woman who has literally scaled the world’s highest peaks—each climb representing a nonprofit she supports. But more than the altitude she’s conquered, it’s her message of resilience, courage, and purpose that moved us most.
She shared stories of women from around the world—women who faced unimaginable odds but chose to rise. She reminded our PEARLS women and girls that leadership doesn’t always look like a podium or a title—it often looks like feeding your family, standing up for your neighbor, or choosing education against all odds.
We are deeply grateful to Climb Your Everest for uplifting our community and for their heartfelt intention to support our Scholarship Program. Because when women are inspired, communities transform.
When girls are empowered, cycles of poverty break.
Together, let’s keep climbing—for a future where every girl knows she can.
