The union supports its members in developing their own enterprises, participating in local politics, pursuing training and accessing social services. Currently, 98 percent of PATAMABA's members are women, while more than half of them are home-based workers. Other affiliated groups include vendors, small transport operators, construction workers and service workers. They are organised in 12 regions, 34 provinces and 276 local chapters throughout the Philippines.

Mission

Vision

Programs

We aim to

advance the rights of workers (poor, women, and youth) in the informal economy. We believe that when people align around shared political, social, economic, or environmental values, as well as take collective action, the thinking and behaviour of millions of people around the world can truly change

We envision

the conscious and active empowerment of workers (poor, women, and youth) in the informal economy in building a free, equal, and prosperous society.

PATAMABA’s programs

promote capacity building and organizing to empower its members that are commonly in the informal sectors. Through this, the leaders of the organization underwent training and seminars to be equipped in achieving goals and strengthening the organization.

Human Development Services

Skills training and skills upgrading

We provide basic training on the production of non-perishable items to home-based workers across our chapters. We also provide training on food processing and organic farming methods.
