ANAK is an acronym for the non-profit Aksyon Ng Ating Kabataan which means "action from our youth" in Tagalog. The Tagalog word anak also means son or daughter.

ANAK Publishing was created in 2010 to address the need for Filipino-Canadian resources. - Why is ANAK Publishing a worker cooperative?
We at ANAK Publishing chose to become a worker cooperative because we believe strongly in providing employment for our members within an enterprise that follows the Cooperative Principles and Values. We are a very small company and hire staff only when required. New employees are invited to become members after a successful probationary period.
