THE MIDWEST ASSOCIATION OF FILIPINO AMERICANS

OUR MISSION

"MAFA exists to promote unity and cooperation amongst Filipino and Filipino Americans around the Midwest by promoting Filipino culture and Asian American awareness, coordinating meetings and events, and supporting the objectives of the MAFA Member Organizations. 

This year, MAFA has decided to dedicate our main Philanthropy to raising funds and spreading awareness to the Salupongan International."

Salupongan International

MAFA will be raising funds and spreading awareness for this non-profit organization, Salupongan International. They are dedicated to "the unity and empowerment of marginalized indigenous, Moro and rural communities in Southern Philippines. We combine social services, campaign advocacy, and local and global support to help meet the basic needs and human rights of the respective communities we serve."

​

We want to support Salupong International's vision of "a future where local and global communities unite in solidarity to serve the interests and needs of marginalized peoples through the empowerment of grassroots communities around the world for social justice, food security and ecological justice, peace and human rights, human dignity, genuine democracy and freedom from exploitation."
