In a groundbreaking collaboration, theAsianparent Philippines, a leading voice in parenting and family support, has joined forces with Best Buddies Philippines to promote inclusion for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This partnership, announced during National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, reflects both organizations’ shared commitment to creating a more inclusive society for all families.
The partnership will focus on raising awareness through joint campaigns, educational resources, and inclusive events designed to foster understanding and meaningful connections between individuals with IDD and the wider community. By combining the resources and reach of theAsianparent Philippines—part of The Parentinc, a Southeast Asian leader in mum and baby consumer goods—and Best Buddies Philippines, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering people with disabilities, the initiative aims to make significant strides towards inclusion.
“This collaboration exemplifies our mission to support all parents and families,” said theAsianparent Philippines. “We are excited to work with Best Buddies Philippines to create a platform for education, empathy, and inclusion, ensuring that every family, regardless of ability, has access to resources, support, and opportunities to thrive.”
Through their combined efforts, the organizations hope to challenge stereotypes, reduce stigma, and empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to lead fulfilling lives while strengthening connections across all communities.
Together, theAsianparent Philippines and Best Buddies Philippines are making a lasting impact on families across the Philippines, exemplifying their commitment to building a more inclusive future for all.
