FURNITURE CARPENTRY

Our Story

The Focolare Carpentry Training Center (FCTC) had its humble start as a social center for adults who possessed particular talents but have no means of sustenance. It developed and grew into a stable institution in 1968 when an Italian master carpenter and two talented Filipino carvers from the Mountain Province decided to pool their skills together and start such an activity. This communion of work gave birth to a furniture manufacturing and training center.
