END POVERTY
In the Philippines, the battle against poverty continues to be a pressing issue that requires a collective effort from all sectors of society.
In the table below, we list the problems concerning poverty and the proposed solutions from various sources. This table and all the others in the CEPIP database will be updated after we receive and process submissions, both internal (from our team, associate members, and affiliate organizations) and external (supporters and site visitors).
We invite all visitors to submit their own problems and recommendations, so we can look at our collective input, work on our feedback together, and figure out how to implement the proposed solutions.
Please post your recommendations and solutions by clicking this button.
If you choose to donate instead, which we greatly appreciate, please do so by clicking here.
