Oxfam Pilipinas: Who We Are

We at Oxfam Pilipinas are dreaming and working for a future where Filipinos are free from poverty.

Our dream is for a country that is resilient, where gender justice and active citizenship thrive. For more than 30 years, serving in a country where close to 27 million now live in poverty, we have relied on the power of people to carry out programs designed to achieve our shared vision.

Central to our strategy is working with partners to transform the unequal power relations, structures, norms, and values that cause poverty and inequality, including gender-based violence and injustice. We strive to apply a feminist lens to all our analyses and actions. We seek to save lives, provide access to services, and reduce the impact of disasters, particularly on the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.

We belong to the larger Oxfam International family of 20 organizations networked with partners and grassroots communities in more than 90 countries. We are part of a global movement for genuine change, seeking to rid the world of the scourge of poverty, with gender justice at the core of what we do.
