How you can help: Assist in improving socio-economic conditions in the countryside by encouraging the establishment of small-scale or alternative income generating activities, and fostering the concept of self-help among members of the community.

Livelihood Assistance may be:

1. Grant of capital fund or capitalization to a specified beneficiary.
2. Donation of equipment or resources needed to start or sustain livelihood projects or to improve productivity and income.
3. Provision of low-interest bearing loans to registered cooperatives and organizations. Repayment schemes for the loans would be arranged in cooperation with a local bank.

How it works: Donations may be directed to local communities and barangays, non-government organizations and cooperatives. Donors may also provide support to existing community livelihood program initiatives of local government sectors.
