Basic Ecclesial Start-up Project for Families in Albay

Through the generous donations collectively raised under the Agap-Bikol program, house rehabilitation, scholarships, environment protection and livelihood projects have been implemented.

 

One of the projects assisted by TYF together with the ACI Sisters is a ‘Basic Ecclesial Start-up Project’ for twelve families in different barangays in Albay. It aims to provide capital for the chosen business venture of the selected families.

 

Upon monitoring of the livelihood project last August, beneficiaries said that the start-up capital helped them in their small scale businesses. Sr. Inday Dela Cerna of ACI indicated in the mid-term report that almost all of the BEC members had been able to pay in full their start-up loan after two months. From the payments collected, another round of micro-credit loans from BEC members will follow.

Fruit Tree Planting for Albay Residents

Also under the Agap-Bicol Program of TYF, and through the efforts of Advocates for Social and Ecological Concerns, a tree-planting project was implemented aiming to provide another source of income for families in barangays Baligang, Libod, Kaguiba, Tagaytay, Gutob and Bantunan.

 

After typhoons struck Bicol, some areas were deforested and the planting of grafted fruit trees was seen to complement other reforestation projects and provide additional source of income to Albay residents.
