Kami po ay isang apostolado na nagbibigay ng serbisyo pang-sikolohikal
at emosyonal sa mga maralitang pamilya. Sa simula’t simula pa
lamang ng UGAT Foundation, Inc., ang mga pamilya ng mga migranteng
manggagawa ang isa sa aming pinaglilingkuran. Napansin namin na ang
paglikas sa ibang lugar ay nagdudulot ng di masukat na gambala sa
buhay pamilya. Ang sapilitang paghihiwalay ng pamilya na ibinubunsod
ng pang-ekonomiyang pangangailangan ay nagbunga ng pagkasira at pagkagulo
sa mga pamilya, at base na rin sa ilang pang-amin, nagdulot ng maraming
tukso sa mga nangibang-bansa gayundin sa mga nanatili sa bansa.
