How Livelihoods Support Helps
Livelihoods initiatives helps empower parents with skills and knowledge to improve their economic stability, allows them to provide for the whole family, and gives them a sense of pride in their new skills.
Tailoring and farming skills, farming resources, education in sustainable farming practices and livestock growth, as well as Savings and Loan Starter Kits all help to provide food and income sources for an entire family.
Kayla’s Story
Kayla, 21, from The Philippines, faced many challenges growing up as the fourth of eight children. Her parents struggled to provide for the family until they joined a project, which provided livelihoods training and support to empower families.
The family initially started a mobile fried chicken business, pivoted to a mobile sari-sari store, eventually growing it into a successful business selling school and office supplies. This newfound financial stability allowed them to cover their children's education and provided a sense of pride.
With the family’s finances improving, Kayla focused on her studies. Despite financial setbacks, she earned a scholarship in hospitality management and continued her education uninterrupted. Kayla’s journey shows how livelihood programs can create lasting change and empower families to thrive.
