Quidan Kaisahan works in partnership with local communities around Negros Occidental. Building strong relationships is a crucial part of our work. We encourage open discussions where community members lead the narrative about the issues that are most important to them.

We spend so much of our time speaking to our partner communities and their members. Now we share some of these conversations about what the work with Quidan has meant for them…
