EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proponents realize that they could never eradicate or lessen gambling incidence but they
could set interventions on a specific cause which is mismanagement of funds. After a series
of community data gathering, the proponents have concluded that the growing number of
out-of-school youth, unemployment and poverty to be the top weaknesses of the barangay
as well, so they designed the program in such a way that it will help alleviate poverty by
helping families become sensitive to the needs of the whole family, helping them acquire
skills and be qualified for employment and help them allocate funds reasonably so they could
fulfil our ultimate goal which is to let them meet their basic needs. They have also verifiedthat most families have low income, most of them are unemployed, and almost all of them
find it hard to budget their money and there are a lot of challenges that come with it. The
results of which will be shown in the Rationale.
³Project Liwanag´ is a unique family fund management program that is composed of three
modules: The Kaisa Camp, a family faith and sensitivity camp, the Kapit Bisig sa
Kabuhayan, a community-based TESDA Skills Training and Certification and possible job
placement, and Ingat Kabuhayan, a family f inance training.
The modules are based on the general concept that everything starts with self-discipline,
awareness of the needs of the family, building relationships and working together. When you
understand, you need to have the opportunity to earn and then, you must have smart ways
and means of managing your income and prioritizing reasonably so that you meet your basic
needs.
The program is not just giving them diversion from gambling by giving something productiveto do but as well as involve the family in the process of becoming better through an
experiential education and fund management orientation. A detailed explanation on the three
program modules will be discussed further in the Proposed Action or Methodology.

The program will run for one year and will have the continuous support and logistics from
partner organizations most especially by the funding from RAFI¶s grant and Municipality of
Consolacion who is giving barangay funds through the Internal Revenue Allotment. The Php
100,000 grant from RAFI will go to funding the modules and the fifty per cent of the
honorariums of the trainers, while the partner LGU will have its counterpart in co-funding the
trainers and providing the materials needed for the TESDA skills training.
RATIONALE
After the three-day immersion in Brgy. Pulpogan, the proponents have come to conclude that
gambling is the major weakness of the community. This is because they mismanage the
limited funds that they have. Their problems with out-of-school youth, unemployment and
poverty are the negative effects as well. All these they have gathered after triangulating
results from the Transect Walk, Survey and Focus Group Discussion.
They also consider intruders or criminals at large who are hiding in their community as the
major threats to the barangay, as well as vices of the residents and the conflicts and issues
within them.
Upon building the proponent¶s problem tree, they had issues regarding the concepts as to
what causes the mismanagement of funds. Because they cannot rely on their perception,
they went back a few weeks later to conduct another focus group discussion to ask which of
the triangulated weakness should the community address first, what matters most to them,
what for them are the main cause and effect of the major problem and what possible
solutions could be derived.
When asked as to how to address negative causes of gambling, respondents on the 2nd FGD
session has really been firm and collective with their answer about discipline and values
formation at home. And during our 2nd survey they were able to gather that most of them are
facing grave challenges when it comes to their money in terms of finding the source and
managing it.
8/4/2019 Yma Project Model FINAL MAIN
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yma-project-model-final-main 4/23
They have gathered people who could represent perceptions from different walks of life.
From the out of school youth, fathers, homemakers, senior citizens to someone from the
government took part in the initiative. Most of the residents chose gambling as the major
weakness because it causes broken marriage, family fights, unattended children, envy,
mismanagement of funds and some the rest in the list of weaknesses stem from it like out of
school youth and poverty.
But then gambling should not be considered as the main problem to be solved here because
of the fact that it is something that cannot be given a solution immediately, it is deeply rooted
into the Filipino culture and some consider it a living. Instead they should take a closer look
at what causes it. The residents resolved that three major things causes gambling in their
area is the insensitivity to the needs of the family, they have limited funds (that is why they
rely on luck) and they have lack of finance orientation.
So the proponents¶ intervention is designed to attack the major causes by giving them a
training on faith and character building to strengthen family ties, a TESDA skills training to
empower them with employable expertise, and a finance management training to help them
control the flow of income and expenses.
The proponents went back to the site to conduct another set of survey and this time aside
from asking the poverty situationers, they also asked about the financial management status
of the respondents. And after collating the data gathered, they concluded that most of the
residents have low income, most of them are unemployed, most of them do not have any
savings available and they find it ³very hard´ to manage their money.
y Around 42% of the respondents earn only around 1,000 to 5,000 pesos monthly as a
family while some 33% earns less than 1,000 pesos monthly.
y More than 80 per cent is unemployed and close to a hundred per cent doesn¶t have
any savings stored in the bank or in co-op or even a cash on hand in case of
calamities or emergencies.
y They have also found out that 75% of the families find it ³very hard´ for them to
budget their family funds and slightly less than half says that the ³debts´ they have
and ³how to budget´ make it hard for them to manage their money.

TARGET COMMUNITY/ BENEFICIARIES
The proponents are targeting to serve 30 Brgy. Pulpogan families who are slightly above or
below the poverty line as tagged by a screening team composed of Brgy. Officials, Brgy.
Health Workers, DSWD Social Workers and the YMA scholar proponents.
The beneficiaries must pass the poverty situationer survey.
They must be a family who is willing to undergo a character building, values formation,
TESDA certification on a technical course, a possible job placement after and a family
finance training.
By family, they mean there is a parent or guardian and a child or children.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Long-term Goal. Basic needs of the families met sufficiently. They also envision a lot of
program seasons changing one family at a time for good. They also want the program to be
continued by the municipality of Consolacion and Brgy. Pulpogan and possibly become
benchmarked in other barangays as well. They also want families who did not benefit fromthe program become inspired just the same.
Short-term Objective. Family funds are properly allocated. The proponents also aim to have
all modules to be conducted successfully with positive self-evaluation results from the
beneficiaries and for TESDA trainees to pass the three month course certification period.
They are expected to share the experience to others and apply learning in real life.

PROPOSED ACTION / METHODOLOGY
The proponents try to alleviate poverty from the mindset, investing skills for employability or
potential business opportunities and teaching how to manage their funds. They branded their
program as ³Project Liwanag´ to denote a number of positive things that could come with this
initiative. They went for Filipino terminology in branding the modules as well for consistency
and recall value.
Because of program constraints, they will be limiting the number of beneficiaries to 30
families only.
Kaisa Camp nourishes on the notion that ³happy families work together.´ It is a family
sensitivity camp that is also a faith, character building and team building seminar. The first
module will tap on the resources and expertise of RAFI, Dilaab, SK, Couples for Christ, and
Women¶s Organization to handle the Family Camp module for a three-day training. The main
objective of the module is for the participants to become sensitive to the needs of the family
which will actually aid them in prioritizing expenses in the future. Aside from letting the
participants learn God-centeredness, self-discipline, understanding, future planning,
deepening relationships and working together, they will also learn respect, sensitivity and
creativity in great ways which are solid foundation as they grow with the program.
The proponents have learned that the ideal trainer trainee ratio is 1:15. So instead of hiring
around 6 trainers for the camp to serve around 90 participants (3 members for 30 families)
the proponents suggest that they only hire one Class A trainer to spearhead the module and
tap on volunteerism of other organizations such as the Dilaab who will handle the first day
which is called Kaisa sa Diyos, a family faith seminar. Couples for Christ, Barangay SK
officials will be tapped on to facilitate throughout the module as well. Women¶s Organization
and the Barangay will help in conducting the monthly evaluation process.

The counterpart of the beneficiaries is for them to bring at least one sardine can for the
boodle lunch and arrive around two hours before the camp to prepare the venue and food
and two hours later after the camp for clean-up and interview.
Anyone in the family who has graduated high school can proceed to the Kapit Bisig sa
Kabuhayan. It is the second module that is a community-based TESDA skills training to be
held in the barangay elementary school for three months. The main objective of this module
is to address their problems regarding limited funds. It is created upon the thought that ³skills
in the family help to move forward´. The TESDA Skills Training Program module will
revitalize their previous program but with some modifications to achieve our objectives and
ensure its sustainability using the resources of the barangay. The TESDA technical courses
to be offered will be plumbing, refrigeration and air conditioning, dressmaking, cooking,
cosmetology. This module will be spearheaded by the barangay and the partner LGU, the
Municipality of Consolacion.
The counterpart of the beneficiaries is for them to provide themselves with snacks all
throughout the training, take time to attend as their attendance and performance will also be
measured for graduation purposes.
After the certification of the family member/s, an Ingat Kabuhayan, a family f inance training
will be conducted. The main objective of this module is to address the lack of finance
orientation and what makes this unique is that we involve the whole family in this training. It
builds on the concept that ³meagre resources when properly allocated make ends meet.´
RAFI¶s expertise on finance and experiential education will be tapped again to conduct the
trainings.
The counterpart of the beneficiaries is for them to come at least two hours before the
program to prepare the venue and food and two hours later after the program for clean-up
and evaluation. Another counterpart for them is to give time when being visited by the
evaluators in their home regularly and monitor themselves if they are really reaching their
personal goal.
To pay for the opportunity cost from attending the program modules, the proponents suggest
that they partner with the Department of Social Welfare and Development to provide goods
8/4/2019 Yma Project Model FINAL MAIN
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yma-project-model-final-main 8/23
such as noodles, rice and sardines as tokens for attending the Kaisa Camp and Ingat
Kabuhayan training.
The beneficiaries and partner organizations will also sign a covenant to protect the program
as well and for them to signify their commitment to finish the program and spearhead in the
organization of the next season.
Regular individual written self-evaluation and interviews as a family will also be conducted by
the scholars right after the module and selected families will be chosen to be monitored
monthly after this module to see the progress of how much they have accomplished their
personal goals that they have set after the finance training, positive self-rating and real life
applications. The posting of documentation and graphs of their progress into the program
website http://projectliwanang.blogspot.com is for monitoring and knowledge sharing
purposes.
A program graduation will also be held where accomplishment reports, testimonials from the
beneficiaries, presentations and meeting with funding agencies for the next season will
gather together.

SUSTAINABILITY
Initiating the program will be handed over to the partner NGO who will continue coordination
with the LGUs and other program partners.
All program partners and beneficiaries is legally bound to honour the covenant.
The program will continue for a possible season two with another batch of 30 families
through the presentation to funding agencies, Municipality of Consolacion and RAFI on the
program graduation day. Accomplishment reports, audio visual presentation and testimonials
will be presented as well as the chance to showcase the results by the families themselves.
There will be local ownership on the program because the barangay and the municipality will
be very active all throughout the implementation process as they have always been since the
planning stages. There will also be a turnover of documentation and methodology, research
results and program accomplishment data to the respective LGUs and partner organizations.
The program will hopefully impact the community in terms of economic productivity of those
who has passed TESDA certification. We are also looking to forge a partnership with a job
placement agency and or business entities who will hire the TESDA trainees.
We are hoping for more socially aware and concerned families especially after the Kaisa
Camp. They will also have improved family lives as they can manage their money well
through the Ingat Kabuhayan where the kids are also taught about the basics of finance. The
participants are expected to relay the learning and the experience to others. When other
residents will see changes on the beneficiaries, they will apply on themselves or what is
better is when they push for the second season of the program.
The beneficiaries are also bounded by the covenant to render services for the
implementation of the next season from taking an active role in choosing the next
beneficiaries to the organizing, facilitating, promoting and monitoring to ensure program
sustainability. This is also another counterpart on their end.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION
The success of the program is based on the following indicators:
1. Positive self-evaluation
a. positive self-assessment
b. pass the sensitivity test
c. positive average self-assessment on the average
2. Employment after the livelihood training
a. Above average attendance grade
b. Above average performance grade
c. Receive recommendation from trainer
d. Endorsement to job openings
3. Learned managing and achieved the personal financial goals
a. positive self-assessment after the family fund management
b. positive average progress on all the monthly assessment combined in
reaching their personal goal
c. Pass the financial management test
We will follow a accumulative evaluation method where more specific indicators are added
as they progress to every module.
There is going to be a written individual Self-Assessment after every activity. This is done to
evaluate what they think of themselves, what they have learned, how they intend to apply the
learning in their real life. All the testing and interview is conducted by a specially organized
Evaluation Team.
For the first module, the Kaisa Camp is composed of three activities. The Kaisa sa Dios,
Kaisa Camp Day One, and Kaisa Camp Day Two. After every activity, there is going to be a
Self-Assessment and a Sensitivity Test which is both designed with the guidance of a
psychology expert. They are also monitored if they are meeting their basic needs through the
Family Basic Needs Survey. This is given to them every once a month after the camp.
For the second module, the Kapit Bisig sa Kabuhayan is made up of two activities, the
TESDA Skills Training and the Job Placement. During the TESDA Skills Training, the
8/4/2019 Yma Project Model FINAL MAIN
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/yma-project-model-final-main 20/23
attendance grade and performance grade of the trainees are computed monthly for
graduation purposes. While they are under the training, the monthly Self-Assessment,
Sensitivity Tests, and Basic Needs Survey will continue.
For the third module, the Ingat Kabuhayan has a one day finance training for the whole
family. After the training, they are to set a specific financial or material goal that is achievable
within the program.
A personal financial or material goal could be any of the following:
1. find a job
2. start a business
3. improve existing business
4. save a certain amount for self
5. save a certain amount for family
6. buy something for self
7. buy something for family
8. be able to meet a need for the family
a. health (afford a doctor, a medicine)
b. education (be able to go to school)
c. food (be able to eat a certain kind of food)
d. home (repair something, have something built)
A progress report to measure that is filled up every month after to see if they are reaching
their targets together with the Self-Assessment, Sensitivity Tests, and Basic Needs Survey.
They are also asked to take age-specific Finance Management Test right before and after
the training.
