Sulu Garden Foundation is named after the Sulu Sea – the largest inland sea in the Philippines. Our mission concentrates on this sea and the provinces that surround it. These provinces have diverse cultures and religions, yet, they all share history and traditions. We aim to contribute: [1] to the improvement of the quality of life of the communities surrounding this inland sea through its PRIDE Program which includes Heritage awareness and preservation of history and culture; [2] to the development of applied scientific knowledge, useful to preserve the environment and knowledge-based scientific approaches to improve the health and economic welfare of the people; and [3] to create linkages to these communities through the Arts Program of the Foundation with a view of bringing old and indigenous craftsmanship to connect with the modern world.
