About - Sociedad Española de Beneficencia (SEB)

History

Founded in 1948, Sociedad Española de Beneficencia (SEB) was born from a singular, noble purpose: to serve as a safety net for the Spanish community in the Philippines. Over the decades, our mission has evolved into a broader, vital calling—protecting the dignity of both Spanish and Filipino elderly in need.

Sociedad Española de Beneficencia is a private, purpose-driven foundation dedicated to honor and care. Since 1948, we have transitioned from a community relief fund into a leading donor institution specializing in elderly care, providing a sanctuary for those at risk of neglect or social isolation.

Accreditation

A Foundation Built on Trust: Our DSWD & PCNC Accreditation

At Sociedad Española de Beneficencia, our commitment to the elderly is matched by our commitment to institutional integrity. We are proud to be fully accredited several times by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and certified by the Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC). These high-level accreditations serve as a "Seal of Good Housekeeping," verifying that our programs meet the strictest national standards for elderly care and financial accountability.
