In the Philippines, approximately 3.6 million individuals aged 6 to 24 are out of school, with predominant reasons of financial constraints (17.9%). Additionally, women constitute 48% of the 28 million identified poor individuals, with 22.53% having no formal education and 66.4% without occupation. These statistics highlight the critical need for comprehensive livelihood programs that empower out-of-school youth, disadvantaged women, and marginalized families. By providing skills training and income-generating opportunities, such programs enable participants to achieve financial stability, support educational pursuits, and break the cycle of poverty. This holistic approach fosters self-sufficiency and contributes to the overall development of our community.

Currently we have 14 individuals employed, from production down to the sellers. They are also our beneficiaries. These individuals are carefully selected to qualify as a beneficiary of this livelihood project. They earn a decent amount of money that has helped them with their finances.

Skills Training and Capacity Building

Persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the Philippines face barriers to employment due to limited skills training and workplace accessibility. According to the PSA, many PWDs struggle with economic dependency, with only a small percentage engaged in formal work. Skills training and capacity-building programs provide them with vocational skills, entrepreneurship opportunities, and financial literacy, enabling them to secure sustainable livelihoods. By fostering inclusivity and self-reliance, these initiatives empower PWDs to participate actively in the workforce and improve their quality of life.

John Mamac

This is John Mamac’s family. He and his
41-year-old live-in partner, Reah Layson, have
four children: Rex Andrei (13), John Gabriel
(10), Marielle (8), and Angel Grace (6).
John is the 1st boy to arrive at the LTCF
orphanage. He was a battered child. When he
was 3 years old, he was dropped off at The
Paginhawaan Drop-In Center for
Children–Davao City (PDICC) formerly known
as the Davao City Drop-In Center. Later, Love
the Children Foundation picked him up and took
him shelter.

At the foundation, John Mamac grew up and completed the Alternative Learning System (ALS). He is now an adult with a family of his own. He is also one of the livelihood beneficiaries of Love The Children Foundation, Inc.

As a seller of Macharap Tuyok Fries, he has been able to generate a more consistent income, allowing his family to meet their household expenses. Beyond financial assistance, the livelihood program has empowered them to become more self-sufficient and hopeful for the future.

They feel truly blessed and deeply grateful to both God and LTCF, as Macharap continues to sustain their family even amid the difficulties brought by the pandemic. The foundation’s unwavering support has not only provided financial relief but has also instilled motivation and confidence in them. With this opportunity, they are now able to look ahead with optimism, striving for a more sustainable and prosperous future for their family.

Rafael Baguio

This is Rafael Baguio and his family. He also grew up in the LTCF orphanage. At the age of 3, he was dropped off at The Paginhawaan Drop-In Center for Children–Davao City (PDICC). He never knew who his parents were. At a young age, he lost both of his parents, leaving him to navigate life without the support of his biological family.

Rafael stayed in an orphanage where he was provided care and shelter. It was during this time that he met Ma’am Charito D. Chua and Mr. Anthony Chua, who became pivotal figures in his life. Through their involvement with Love the Children Foundation, Inc., they took Rafael under their wing, offering him a sense of stability and love that he had lost. Their kindness and care allowed him to grow and develop in a safe environment.

Rafael became one of the livelihood beneficiaries of Love the Children Foundation, Inc. Through the livelihood opportunities provided by the foundation, Rafael has been able to meet his daily needs and even afford things he once only dreamed of. This support has given him a renewed sense of purpose and a clearer vision for his future.                                                     

Beyond financial stability, Rafael has also experienced spiritual growth. He has learned to trust in God, openly express his emotions, and find strength in his faith. Regular attendance at church services organized by the foundation has helped him deepen his spirituality and connect with a supportive community.

During every Thursday prayer meeting, he actively participates by playing the drums—using his talent to serve and worship.
