Welcome to Pasali!

PASALI ORIGIN Pasali Philippines Foundation is established by Pasali Netherlands as an association of Filipino sea-based workers who use their expertise acquired abroad for the development of rural communities in the Philippines.

OUR VISION A steadfast and dynamic Philippine society where youth in partnership with migrants dedicate and integrate their skills, knowledge and resources to reverse the effects of brain drain* and advance “brain gain” towards building sustainable and self-reliant communities.

Dear partner, Welcome to Pasali in Mindanao! The coming days we’ll be working side by side to increase the production and income of farmers in your area through the FARM project with the CRS. The end goal of this is to see them as entrepreneurs someday. The materials here shows what Pasali is about/doing and contains success story of how farmer clusters in Luzon journeyed from an ordinary farmer group to entrepreneurs. ‘Pasali’ in Filipino means ‘to join’, so we hope that you’ll feel at home with us as we work along the way.
