 SECTION III: PROJECT RATIONALE
Corona Virus also known as Covid-19 indeed has a very big impact not just in

businesses but also to all the people in the world. Community projects around the world play

an important role in the development of society, to those people who needs a massive support

from other people, and to projects designed to enhance quality of life for the more vulnerable

members of society in any country or region. The purpose of “Coins for a Cause” project is to

help the researchers’ chosen charity, to be able to sustain their necessities to survive. The

reason why the researchers came up with this project is because the researchers also

experienced the hardship of pandemic that leads to the severe hunger and starvation of many

people. Many people have lost their jobs, including some of the sponsors of charities.

Collecting coins becomes the chosen project because the researchers believe that it has a

psychological impact that giving out coins is not too much, the more coins that will be

collected and saved, the higher the chance that more people can eat and live. After collecting

coins, the researchers have decided to exchange the collected coins to the bank for the use of

helping the researchers’ chosen charities.

SECTION IV: PROJECT BENEFICIARIES

The project “Cents for a Cause” intent to provide food, particularly rice to people who

are incapable of acquiring their basic needs and has low chance to access opportunities like

others. As global pandemic continues to worsen the population rate of poverty in the

Philippines which is already 18.7% out of 110 million people. The age range of the chosen

participants of the said project are everyone from 1 year old up to senior citizens. All ages are

the chosen age range to participate, donate and to give help because every age can give help

to the homeless and incapable to live a better living. The researchers aim is to cover those
people who have difficulty in accessing and supporting their basic needs in life whose age

ranges from newborn to the elderly and these are:

1. Charities - The researcher’s main objective is to increase the support and fulfill its

supply when it comes to the basic needs of the foundation which is food since it is not

close to impossible that the sponsors here are slowly losing their income due to the

economic issues that is currently happening in our country.

2. Street children - The researchers chose the street children because they are the major

group of people who mainly suffers to feed their own stomach every day. They are

exposed to dangers in life, child labor is one, due to lack of guidance and protection

from their parents. These children also face health risks like malnutrition and become

more prone to mortality because of hunger and severe poverty.

3. Homeless (beggar) - The researchers also succor the homeless individuals for they

are in the high risk in exposing themselves in the threat of the coronavirus in our

country. They will also be given a personal protective material like face shield and

face mask.

4. Farmers - The researcher’s motive is to help, at least our relative farmers who also

deals with abuse and unequal pricing system. Ever since the pandemic have started,

our agriculture also declines which affects our farmers because of restrictions and

inflation that occurs. The researchers will directly purchase the rice from a relative

farmer which will be used to distribute to their target people. (Note: Admittedly, the

funds that will be collected are limited that is why the researchers will make used of

the resources mainly to charities and street children.)

The pictures below manifest the day-to-day situation of the farmers, street children,

homeless, and charities.

 SECTION V: PROJECT OBJECTIVES
As the world develops, individuals will in general fail to remember the significance of

a coin. Nowadays, it is discernible that we do not utilize coins on our regular basis.

Sometimes even if we see 5, 10, or even 25 centavos on the ground, we tend to overlook it.

Unlike if we see 1 peso coin, we apply exertion to pick it up. Be that as it may, in these

difficult occasions, we need to consider our needs as well as others' necessities. We must be

sensitive in order to thrive and flourish in this chaotic world. This project expects to connect

their hands to every one of the non-advantaged individuals, particularly children and youths.

This aims to gather coins instead of throwing it. From these coins, the researchers will want

to stick out and fill in as the voice of many. The researcher’s percepts that a coin can do such

amazing things that will clearly give light and hope to someone’s dull life. It is concerned

with people who continue to experience hardship and struggles in life but still fighting to live

even they are lacking necessity, for young people who have hope and have a potential bright

future.
