 I. Introduction
Every one of us used to live a normal life, families living happily together, our
parents working for our future, studying in a well-known school, earning enough money for
our daily needs. But due to fast economic growth, calamities and disasters and financial
problems we can see a big difference of growing numbers of family who suffers poverty due to
different reasons and situations. As we’ve seen on televisions and social media many people
suffer from poverty because they chose to give up on life and let poverty itself pull them down
and many of them lose hope and they don’t know how to start again.

Being a concerned citizen and student of this generation. We aim to help in our own little
ways to give this poor people a hope that after all the problems that came to their life that
causes them to fall down, there will still be a way for them to get back up and start a new life
again. Those people living in the streets, those children who begs for food, and those people
who can’t afford education. By giving them a little hope, we know that our help might be small
but we know that this will give them a glimpse of hope what will help them to rebuild their life
and start over again.

We the students of Don Bosco Tarlac are planning to think of a way to help this poor
people and give them a chance to start again. This program not only aims to help them but also
to inspire other people to come up with their own ideas to help this people and maybe together
we can all help each other to have a meaningful life again.

II. Purpose
The purpose of this project is to help the poor people especially those who didn’t finish
their education and teach them basic skills about different livelihood works like basic car
repairing, soap making, basic housekeeping skills, furniture making, handicrafts etc. This
livelihood skills will somehow help them to overcome such poverty because they can use these
skills to start up a small business and little by little may these skills that we teach them can help
them to live a better life than before.

We also aim to remind other people that we the youth of today is concern of what is
happening in our society today especially when it comes to poverty. That even at our age it is
possible for us to make a change for a better future for us.
 III. Objectives
Below are the objectives of our program:
 To teach the poor people some basic skills about different livelihood skills.
 To help the poor people to start over again through these basic skills that they will learn.
 To raise awareness to the society on how the youth is concerned about giving solution to
poverty.
 To give this people a skill which they can use to start a small business or even go to
work.
 To somehow help reduce the number of people who suffer from poverty in every
barangay through these skills that they will learn.

IV. Methodology
The program/seminar wherein each people who suffer from poverty in every barangay
would participate in this skills and livelihood seminar, this would be done twice a week (every
Friday and Saturday). But only 50 people who are poor will be allowed to participate every
seminar so that our seminar mentors can accommodate all of the needs and questions of the
participants. Through the help of our sponsors, at the end of the seminar we will give the
participants some products and basic equipment they can use to start a small business of their
own if they want.
V. Project Needs
For this project to be successful, we are in need of sponsors to fund this seminars and
programs, an amount that will range from 8,000-15,000 also a location to be used for the said
seminar/program that we believe the barangays will provide us one, spaces such as Seminar
Halls or Basketball Court in their own barangays and a projector with white screen for the
instructions and information that our mentors will share. A total amount of 20,000 we think will
provide all the needs for this seminar to be successful.
