The women of KALAHI-CIDSS are not just breaking barriers and shattering stereotypes, they are literally constructing buildings and implementing projects that alleviate poverty in their respective communities.

The Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan–Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) celebrates and empowers women by providing them with opportunities to actively participate in decision-making processes and leadership roles in their communities.

The KALAHI-CIDSS is a strong advocate of women’s rights and works to support women’s health and well-being. This program specifically promotes maternal and child health and provides women with access to healthcare services and facilities.

To every woman who has had to fight for her voice to be heard, for her achievements to be recognized, and for her dreams to be realized – you are a true wonder woman. You are powerful, resilient, and inspiring, and you have the capacity to make a tremendous impact on the world.

And to every ally who has stood by a woman’s side, advocating for her rights and lifting her up when she needed it most – you are a hero. Your support and encouragement have helped pave the way for women to achieve greatness, and we are so grateful for everything you do.

Together with KALAHI-CIDSS, let’s keep pushing for progress and equality until every woman has the chance to reach her full potential and soar. Babae ka, hindi babae lang! Happy Women’s Month. (DSWD MIMAROPA)
