At Soluciones de Estilo de Vida (Phil.) Inc we create responsive, flexible, innovative and person centred solutions for people and communities requiring support.

Soluciones de Estilo de Vida (Phil.) Inc is a branch of Lifestyle Solutions (Aust) Ltd. in the Philippines where we have adopted a collaborative approach to meet the specific needs of disadvantaged groups such as:

• Farmers
• Fishermen
• Urban and rural poor
• Indigenous tribes
• People with disability
• Children and women.

We use an Asset Based Community Development framework, underpinned by the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. We have a strong focus on the participation of women and a commitment to the use of sound environmental practices.

Through our involvement and participation in the Asia Pacific region we have been able to:

• Collaborate and develop alliances with key stakeholders
• Share resources
• Promote community-based inclusive development approaches
• Develop an effective multi-sectorial strategy to reduce poverty, ensure rights and enhance the quality of life of people who are experiencing poverty.

Much of Soluciones de Estilo de Vida’s success stems from a solid grounding in person centred values, a commitment to equality and social justice and a commitment to outcomes that are meaningful for each individual, their family and the local community.

Through our collaboration with the local women's group - Kuhaw Kainomayan Nin Kababayiwan – Dampay  (KKK-Dampay) projects such as Solutions for Healthy Lifestyle through Clean Water and Sanitary Toilets we are fulfilling our vision of supporting people in creating lifestyle solutions and fulfilling our goals of:
