Our History
Story of Sorok Uni Foundation
Sorok Uni Foundation was founded by Capt. Jae J. Jang, a businessman, a former ship captain, and a Christian on May 7, 2002. His frequent visits to Filipinos who were affected by leprosy, in then Tala Leprosarium (now Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital) in Tala, Caloocan, has inspired him to start an organization that would help Persons Affected by Leprosy (PALs). According to Capt. Jang, “When I had the chance to hold a deformed hand of a Hansen, I was touched. It was like God saying, “You have to help them”, and I felt I had to extend more help to cured leprosy patients”.
Adopting the name of Sorok Island (a leprosy colony in South Korea; like Culion Island in the Philippines), and combining with UNI (You and I) of the Uni Group of Companies, Capt. Jang has established Sorok Uni Foundation Inc.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
