The Amanlara Farmers Organization is a dynamic grassroots association based in Balangiga, Eastern Samar, dedicated to empowering local farmers through sustainable and community-driven initiatives. Rooted in shared values of fairness, resilience, and cooperation, the group works collectively to enhance agricultural productivity, improve organizational capacity, and foster inclusive rural development. By integrating traditional farming wisdom with innovative practices, the association serves as a vital platform for knowledge exchange, livelihood advancement, and social mobilization—championing the voice of farmers while contributing to broader community wellbeing.

The Amanlara Irrigators Association is driven by a deep commitment to uplifting the lives of small farmers in Balangiga and surrounding communities. Rooted in the values of unity, transparency, and sustainability, the organization seeks to enhance agricultural productivity by providing reliable irrigation access and strengthening community ties. Through inclusive decision-making and capacity-building initiatives, Amanlara empowers farmers to reclaim control over their lands and livelihoods, creating a ripple effect of prosperity across generations. At its core, the association believes that empowering smallholders is key to building a resilient and self-sustaining rural economy.

Among our services to small farmers, Amanlara proudly offers organized access to farm machinery rentals—such as tractors, kuliglig units, and threshers—to ease labor demands and maximize efficiency in field operations. We also facilitate training sessions and collaborative exchanges, helping farmers stay informed about sustainable practices and technologies suited to local conditions. By bridging traditional wisdom with modern solutions, the association provides not just tools, but also a sense of solidarity and hope. Our goal is to ensure every farmer feels supported—not just in cultivating crops, but in cultivating a better future for their families and communities.
