We seek lasting change.
We at Oxfam Pilipinas are dreaming and working for a future where Filipinos are free from poverty.
For almost four decades, serving in a country where close to 27 million 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 work with our partners to transform unequal power relations, structures, norms, and values that cause poverty and inequality. We have achieved some progress toward this goal across our three portfolios:
Climate Justice
Communities on the front lines of the climate crisis bear the harshest impacts, despite contributing the least to global emissions.
Our goal
A just transition to a low-carbon future where communities, especially women and the most vulnerable, lead climate solutions and have fair access to resources and finances.

Gender Justice
Women and the LGBTQIA+ community have the right to live in a world free from discrimination and violence.
Our goal
A more just, gender-equal, and inclusive society.

Humanitarian Action
When disaster strikes, it is always the poorest and most vulnerable individuals and communities who suffer the most.
Our goal
Risks and impacts of hazards and disasters are prevented or reduced, thus saving lives and contributing to resilience, long-term development, and peace.
