About US
PATH Foundation Philippines, Inc. (PFPI) is a private, charitable organization [501 (c) 3] with established presence in the Philippines and USA (Hawaii) with a vision and mission to improve health, conserve biodiversity and promote sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region.
 Mission
The Foundation's mission is to improve health and contribute to environmentally sustainable development, particularly in under-served areas of the Philippines. We accomplish results by designing and implementing demonstration and research projects and cross-disciplinary initiatives in population, health, and natural resource management in collaboration with local government and private sector partners. By supporting client groups to plan, adapt and apply appropriate technologies and methodologies that address priority concerns, we empower communities with self-help approaches that are manageable and sustainable at local levels.
 Capabilities
The Foundation's multi-disciplinary core competencies encompass policy advocacy, training, behavior change communication, social marketing, operations research, program monitoring, and outreach systems development. Central to the Foundation's effort is the drive to facilitate stakeholder engagement and forge cross-sectoral partnerships with local governments, NGOs, businesses and communities to achieve our mission. The Foundation specializes in peer mediated behavior change. It has developed numerous training curricula and materials to facilitate transfer of know-how to government and non-government partners working to prevent unwanted pregnancy/abortion and the spread of HIV/AIDS/STD. The Foundation also designed and applied a system to track change in behavior among sub-populations at risk of unwanted pregnancy and HIV/AIDS/STD due to their risky sexual and injecting practices. This Behavioral Monitoring System (BMS) was used in the eight largest cities and seventeen municipalities of the Philippines.
