TAO-Pilipinas, Inc.
"It is time for us to go to the people rather than ask the people, especially the poor, to come to us."
TAO-Pilipinas works hand in hand with other NGOs of various fields to accomplish the goals and objectives of each project. Usually, development NGOs introduce TAO-Pilipinas to their partner communities in need of technical assistance, or TAO-Pilipinas taps other NGOs to address the community needs that are outside of TAO’s expertise. Among our current development NGO partners are:
Community Organizers Multiversity (COM)
