The "Global Santa" initiative, the flagship humanitarian program of We Care for Humanity (WCH), successfully touched down in Hanoi, bringing essential aid and holiday cheer to those who need it most. Led by WCH Founder and President, Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura, the mission focused on providing relief to patients battling critical illnesses.
The delegation visited two major hospitals dedicated to cancer treatment in Hanoi. The team distributed vital medicines and food supplies to hundreds of patients, offering not just material aid but a message of solidarity and hope during the season.
Spearheading the logistics on the ground was Ms. Bai Huong Vo, the WCH Country Director for Vietnam, whose leadership ensured the smooth execution of the mission.
A significant pillar of this event was the major sponsorship of Ms. Thuy Tran, a dedicated philanthropist and business leader. Ms. Tran, who was previously crowned as one of the "WCH Women of the Year" at the 2024 Royal Summit in Manila, played a crucial role in funding the relief goods. In recognition of her continued service and dedication to the organization's mission, WCH is pleased to announce that Ms. Tran will soon be officially appointed as the WCH Regional Director for Hanoi.
The mission was further strengthened by the generous support of Belynn Lam and Datu Hoa Lam, who joined the delegation in distributing aid directly to the patients.

On December 30, 2025, the Greece chapter of We Care for Humanity (WCH) brought the warmth of the holiday season to the orphans of Hadjikyriakeio through a special Global Santa mission.
The humanitarian effort was mobilized in response to the health challenges faced by the orphans’ guardian, Archimandrite Chrysostomos Karambelas, who recently underwent multiple surgeries. To ensure the children were not left behind during the festive season while their guardian recovers, the WCH team stepped in to provide essential support and holiday cheer.
The mission was spearheaded by WCH Greece and Cyprus Ambassador, Dr. Katerina Glykou Fontinia, and WCH Greece Interim Country Director, Ms. Jenny Michalopolous. They were joined by a dedicated group of ten female members of WCH Greece and the organization’s social media team from the group "It is us - not me - because ego is over" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/124215304408005/?ref=share).
Together, the volunteers delivered a substantial donation of food, including meat, bread, and various holiday goodies, ensuring the children enjoyed a festive meal and felt the embrace of their community.
Archimandrite Chrysostomos Karambelas is a cherished member of the humanitarian community, having been knighted by We Care for Humanity in September 2025 during the Heptapolis - Trilogy, the Vision of Delphi event in Athens.
Reflecting on the collective effort of the volunteers, Dr. Katerina Glykou Fontinia remarked, "True humanitarianism is about acting as one family. When we saw the need at Hadjikyriakeio, there was no hesitation; we simply wanted to ensure these children felt love and security during the holidays."
Ms. Jenny Michalopolous added, "The spirit of Global Santa is about stepping in where there is a need. With Father Chrysostomos recovering, we felt a deep responsibility to ensure the orphans of Hadjikyriakeio still experienced the joy and abundance of the holidays. It was an honor to serve them."
The Founder of We Care for Humanity, HRH Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura, praised the initiative from the organization's headquarters: "I am incredibly proud of the WCH Greece team. Their swift action to support the orphans while our dear Knight, Archimandrite Chrysostomos, recovers is the true definition of compassion. They have shown that when one of us is down, the rest will stand up to protect the vulnerable."

The children were treated to a sumptuous feast featuring cakes, drinks, and holiday treats. The atmosphere was electric with joy as the WCH team, the Torres family, and the children engaged in fun dances and games before the distribution of gifts.
"Christmas is not just a date on a calendar; it is a spirit of giving that transcends borders," stated HRH Queen Maria. "Seeing my own family, the Torres Clan, working side-by-side with our dedicated WCH Vietnam team to feed and dance with these beautiful children is the greatest gift I could ask for."

In a significant stride toward combating water scarcity and poverty in East Africa, HRH Maha Putri Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura, Founder of We Care for Humanity (WCH), successfully installed two solar-powered shallow water wells in the Mwingi region of Kenya this past December.
The initiative, executed under the Water for Humanity Program of WCH and aligned with the organization’s Ending Poverty/Food and Water Advocacy, marks a vital development for the communities of Mangani and Thonoa.
The inauguration was hosted by Honorable Gideon Mulyungi, MP of Mwingi, and supported by Hon. Kennedy Musyoka, MP of Eastern Africa, alongside Ms. Belynn Lam, CEO of Lam Global. The project was meticulously coordinated on the ground by Mr. Benjamin Musunza, the WCH Country Director for Kenya.
In a display of collaborative governance, MP Dr. Irene Kasalu generously donated a water tank to support the Mangani water well infrastructure.
"Water is the foundation of life and dignity," said HRH Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura. "By installing these solar-powered wells, we are not just providing a resource; we are empowering the families of Mangani and Thonoa to build a sustainable future. Seeing the joy in the community, especially when they bestowed upon me the name 'Syukimanzi'—meaning 'the one who brings progress to the people'—affirms that our mission to end poverty is truly reaching the hearts of the locals."
Coinciding with the water infrastructure inauguration, WCH launched its renowned Global Santa Program in the region. The festivities provided meals to over 3,000 people across both locations. The massive humanitarian relief effort included the distribution of over 2 million goodies and essential items to local residents. To further assist the families, Hon. Gideon Mulyungi distributed cash grants during the event.
Hon. Gideon Mulyungi expressed his gratitude for the international support: "The people of Mwingi are deeply moved by the generosity of Queen Mariam and We Care for Humanity. These wells solve a critical challenge for our constituency, and the Global Santa program brought a joy to our children that we will never forget."
Hon. Kennedy Musyoka added, "This partnership serves as a model for how global organizations and local leadership can collaborate. We look forward to continuing this work to ensure water security and prosperity for Eastern Africa."

In one of the most poignant chapters of the 2025 Global Santa Program, We Care for Humanity (WCH) extended its reach to a specialized care facility in Rizal, providing essential support and pastoral guidance to young survivors of abuse.
The mission was personally sponsored and coordinated by Ms. Cristi Santos Pangilinan, WCH Regional Director for Rizal, in close collaboration with Pastora Rizaline Irene Torres Pascual, WCH Country Director for the Philippines. Due to the sensitive nature of the institution—which provides sanctuary for girls aged 10 to 17 who have survived traumatic domestic circumstances—the location remains undisclosed and the identities of the beneficiaries have been strictly protected to ensure their safety and dignity.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
The visit focused on providing both practical resources and emotional restoration. Each of the young women received:
Personal Hygiene Kits: Essential supplies curated to promote health and self-care.
Nutritional Support: Specially prepared lunch packs and festive chocolates.
Spiritual Fortification: Deeply impactful pastoral care and counseling sessions led by Rev. Pastor Gabriel Pascual.
Restoring Hope and Dignity"Global Santa is not just about gifts; it is about restoring the sense of worth in every child, especially those who have faced unimaginable challenges," stated WCH Founder, HRH Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura. "The dedication of Ms. Pangilinan and the Pascual family in providing this sanctuary of care reflects the true heart of our humanitarian mission."
By combining material aid with spiritual support, the mission sought to provide a "hand up" in the healing process of these resilient young women. We Care for Humanity remains committed to protecting the most vulnerable members of society and ensuring that even in the most difficult circumstances, the light of compassion is never extinguished.
PHU YEN, VIETNAM – Following the successful conclusion of the 8th WCH Royal Summit in Bali, Indonesia, the We Care for Humanity (WCH) delegation returned to Vietnam to face a national catastrophe. In response to the severe flooding and typhoon aftermath that has claimed numerous lives and caused billions of dollars in damages, WCH has activated an early deployment of its "Global Santa" program to provide immediate relief to the hardest-hit communities.
The emergency mission was spearheaded by WCH Founder, HRH Maha Putri Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura, and executed on the ground by the WCH Vietnam leadership, including Country Director Bai Huong Vo, Deputy Director Hoa Lam, and Royal Maharlika Cabinet Member Thanh Lam, alongside a dedicated team of volunteers.
From Summit to Service While the WCH Royal Summit in Bali celebrated global humanitarianism, the situation in Vietnam demanded immediate action. As reported by international news outlets, the region has been devastated by extreme weather, leaving thousands without food, clean water, or shelter.
“The true measure of our organization is not just in the summits we hold, but in how quickly we respond when humanity is in pain,” said Queen Mariam. “We have launched the Global Santa initiative early this year because hunger and cold do not wait for the holidays. We stand with the people of Vietnam.”

In a particularly touching moment of the visit, Datu Jordan also donated a new pair of rubber shoes to a student, providing a practical and much-needed gift for the child’s daily journey to school.
A Global Vision of Kindness:
From her humanitarian missions abroad, WCH Founder HRH Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura expressed her immense delight upon hearing of the successful event.
"To see our Royal Maharlika leaders and WCH directors taking initiative to serve their local communities while I am executing the Global Santa Program in other parts of the world is truly inspiring," the Queen stated. "This is the essence of We Care for Humanity—a continuous, global chain of kindness that never sleeps."
The Global Santa Program remains a flagship initiative of WCH, dedicated to bringing smiles, dignity, and essential resources to children across the globe during the holiday season.
