THE LEAST-SERVED SECTORS
In our society, certain groups face more challenges than others – grappling with financial instability, homelessness, and social exclusion. Each of these groups has its own hurdles to overcome on the path to empowerment. Empowering the least-served sectors isn’t just a moral necessity for AMBAG; it’s also a strategic investment in the future of both stakeholders and the organization. By unlocking the potential of marginalized communities, we create opportunities for innovation and resilience that benefit society as a whole. Empowering the least-served sectors is how we bridge the gap and build a more just, equitable, and inclusive world for all.
Persons with disabilities (PWDs) encounter various obstacles due to physical, sensory, intellectual, or developmental impairments. Nonetheless, their inherent abilities and talents significantly contribute to society. With proper support and assistance, they become valuable members of communities, showcasing resilience and determination in overcoming life’s hardships and enriching the lives of those around them.
Homelessness arises from economic, social, and personal factors like poverty, unemployment, and mental health issues. Homeless individuals endure exposure to the elements, lack of basic amenities, and vulnerability to violence, necessitating comprehensive solutions for stable housing, support services, and pathways to livelihood.
Victims of injustice endure harm such as violence, exploitation, and discrimination. Accessing justice and support services, especially in the Philippines, is often challenging. Upholding human rights, addressing systemic inequalities, and providing comprehensive assistance are vital; this includes legal aid, counseling, and advocacy. Promoting accountability and social change is crucial to preventing further injustices.
Through carefully tailored programs and support mechanisms, we strive to break down barriers and promote inclusivity within the community. Advocating for financial equity, advancing livelihood opportunities, and committing to social protection exemplify a holistic approach to overall empowerment.
