Team
Project Pilipinas brings together community leadership, operations, technology, architecture, engineering, project coordination, finance, and hands-on experience in textile upcycling.
Leading with community experience and systems thinking
Our work began by listening to mothers in Payatas and building a livelihood model around their realities. Project Pilipinas carries that lesson forward: circular systems must be practical, inclusive, accountable, and designed with the people who will operate them.
