Past Projects
ADVOCACY
Finance Inc.
Finance Inc. is a three-year, multi-country initiative led by APCOM Foundation aimed at engaging financial institutions focused on international development and the private sector in the Asia-Pacific region to better include LGBTQI people’s rights, concerns, and potential.
Community Organizing
Building Rainbow Communities
Building Rainbow Communities is a three-year project with Voice Philippines. It was conceptualized out of a series of Focus Group Discussions which surfaced the disparity in the level of engagements between provincial organizations and those based in urban metropolitan areas. Babaylanes then comes in as brokers — facilitators of information, resources, opportunities, and even social relations.
Community Organizing
Equality Fellowship
The Babaylanes Equality Fellowship (BEF) program aims to capacitate young and emerging LGBTQI advocates to form a larger pool of LGBTQI youth leaders. This pool shall cultivate a new generation of leaders who would contribute to the sustainability of LGBTQI organizations in the Philippines. By fostering a diverse array of LGBTQI voices, the program also strives to foster greater inclusivity and representation in leadership roles, thereby promoting principles of good governance and ensuring a more equal society.
