SULADS is a Manobo word for brother or sister, an Acronym for Socio-Economic Uplift, Literacy, Anthropological and Developmental Services.
The name SULADS depicts that it exists for the Lumads, people dwelling on remote mountains and islands deprived from any comfort and privileges. The love for the Lumads and the great aim to share to the unreached people about Jesus' love motivates the Adventist young people to join this work through it means sacrifice and risking their lives.
