As we approach the holiday season, you can help change women’s lives and take a piece of the Philippines with you, wherever you are, through “#PinayPower: A Pre-Holiday Online Bazaar.” 

Shop from any of our partner brands from November 6-12, and 20% of every purchase you make will directly support reproductive health programs, including free birth control, HIV testing, prenatal checkups and comprehensive sexuality education. 

Here are five fabulous ways you can support Filipino communities and make better sexual and reproductive health services a reality for women and young people in the Philippines:

1. Wear your heritage with Pride. Make a statement with hand woven apparel from Anthill Fabric Gallery*. Each piece is a celebration of the Filipino identity, handcrafted by Filipina weavers from around the country.

2. Treat yourself without guilt. After staying home, wearing masks and keeping a six-foot distance from people for most of the year, you deserve a treat. Elevate your basic look and give Filipina artisans the gift of sustainable livelihood–with head-turning and conversation-starting pieces from Zarah Juan. 

3. Stay home in style. Ditch those tired sweatpants and instantly feel like a VIP with Rafikimono silk kimono-kaftan robes made of fabrics from all over the world. Each design is produced in limited quantities, seamlessly handcrafted by women in Pasay who support their immediate and extended families through Rafikimono’s generous compensation and support systems. If you’re shopping from the Philippines, you may order via Instagram.

4. Teach a child good values through play. Whether you’re a parent or a cool Tita, playing with children will keep you young at heart. With cute handcrafted plush dolls from HOME Plush Toys*, you can help a child grow into a socially responsible adult–like you!

Each doll is created and designed by crafty mother artisans in Cebu, Philippines working for a sustainable livelihood. 

5. Upgrade your home office. Working from home shouldn’t mean getting stuck in a boring workspace all day. Brass it up to jazz it up with these beautiful brass jars and bookends by Sesotunawa*, handcrafted through the Tboli’s traditional art of brass-casting or Temwel.

Women all over the world have had to take on more than usual since the beginning of COVID-19. They were suddenly thrust into a “new normal” of juggling multiple roles–that of provider, caretaker, teacher, and more. Young people, including LGBTQIA+ youth, are now more vulnerable to health risks such as HIV and teenage pregnancies.

For many Filipino women and young people, COVID-19 has created more barriers to better health and well-being. But you can help break them. 

Your support will go a long way.
