”It is an honour for the Manny Pacquiao Foundation to be working on this project with such remarkable people,” Pacquiao said.

‘Dustin Poirier and Justin Wren both have huge hearts, and the work they do through their foundations is touching many lives. We can accomplish so much together, and I hope many people will join us as we complete this project and make a lasting impact.’

The constructors of all 32 homes are in-country social entrepreneurs and tradesmen, and 15 of the 32 homes are already completed, along with one water tower and plumbing and infrastructure for bringing clean water into each home.
