Our Programmes



Gender Equality & Women Empowerment

The Mondejar Foundation’s commitment to advancing women began with a deep respect for grace, strength, and cultural influence. Today, this commitment has evolved into a broader mission that champions systemic equality, grassroots empowerment, and bold leadership for women and girls across the Philippines.

Celebrating Women’s Excellence

From the very beginning, the Mondejar Foundation has proudly supported cultural initiatives that honour the achievements and influence of Filipino women. These platforms highlight not only elegance and philanthropy but also the power of women as role models and changemakers.

We are honoured to support:

  • Rupert Jacinto’s Faaabulous Portraits, is a signature celebration of style, substance, and élan - capturing the timeless grace and inner strength of remarkable Filipino women who lead with purpose and inspire through presence.

  • Best Dressed Women of the Philippines, an iconic tradition benefiting the Philippine Cancer Society and recognising women who embody grace, philanthropy, and social influence

These cultural legacies remain central to our work. They remind every girl that power and beauty can coexist, and that her story is worth celebrating.

What began as a cultural celebration of women’s excellence has grown into a lasting movement for inclusive change, with these foundational programmes reflecting the Mondejar Foundation’s enduring commitment to gender equality at every level of society.

Philippine Gender Equal Pay Programme

This programme advocates for wage equality, transparency, and gender-sensitive workplace policies across the Philippines. It supports:

  • Policy advocacy and legal reform

  • Corporate partnerships and equal pay pledges

  • National awareness campaigns

  • Research and reporting on the gender pay gap

By helping to change systems, we are creating fairer futures.

Philippine Women and Girls Empowerment Programme

At the grassroots level, this programme delivers direct support to women and girls in underserved communities. It provides:

  • Leadership training and mentorship

  • Scholarships and school partnerships

  • Mobile education and health caravans

  • Entrepreneurship and livelihood support

This work ensures that women not only survive. They are equipped to lead and uplift others.

Why It Matters

Despite decades of progress, women and girls in the Philippines still face unequal access to education, healthcare, leadership roles, and economic security. The Mondejar Foundation’s holistic approach addresses these disparities across cultural, economic, and policy-based spheres.

We believe that true progress honours both human dignity and cultural soul. When we empower women, we strengthen entire communities.
