WHAT: Describe the project briefly, its nature and overall concept.
|
Title of the Project:
“The
Societal Productivity Advancement (SPA) Project”
|
Describe the project concept/idea:
The
Societal Productivity Advancement project seeks to provide a substantive
analytical focus on improving the livelihood of the chosen beneficiaries and offer a job-generating
project fit for the needs of residents in their areas. At present, we believe
that a lot of people in Davao are single, professionals
and stressed.
The Ten Thousand pesos grant will be used to
fund the skills
training, (Massage, Foot Spa, Manicure, Pedicure, etc...) to help residents
get jobs, to supply the needed materials, and to organize a community
enterprise for the application of the skills learned.
The SPA
project will offer 4 types of services; Therapeutic massage (whole body,
hands, head facial, and back), foot spa, manicure and pedicure. The Chosen
Community in which we ought to serve is Barangay Bankerohan, Davao City.
|
Objectives of the Project and
Measure of Success:
*Ensure
you have SMART objectives. (Specific, Measurable, Acceptable to the
community, Realistic, Time-bounded)
|
WHY: What were your group’s reasons for choosing this
project and the community you hope to serve?
Bankerohan, Davao City is well
known for its economical retail industry and marketplace, but, despite of
its distinguished reputation for a
thriving market hub, surrounding it is a vast population of squatters, out of
school youth, beggars, unemployed and underemployed locals which we could
term as belonging to the group of the Vulnerable Urban Poor (VUP) or those
who are unprivileged, and currently situated within a flourishing urban area
without a stable source of income and deprived lifestyle.
We, as UICians are very familiar
of the community since our school (UIC-Main Campus) is located at a more
elevated area of Bankerohan. We can recognize the needs of the community, and
as servant leaders, we would like to serve its most vital needs by
introducing the SPA project. This project will not only benefit the chosen
barangay beneficiaries but also the Dabawenyos, the market goers, the
sightseers and us - the students who seek for the improvement of the locals
and the community itself.
We chose single women (ages
18-50 years old) and mothers (with 4 children and above) to be the
beneficiaries of this project because they find it
complex to augment income and find it hard to budget the daily income of
their partners and children. We will coordinate with the local officials to
organize the manpower.
With the help of the school, we will
recommend prospects that may avail of their services might as well become
patrons of the project as primary marketing initiative and later on, word of
mouth will be the primary tool for promotion.
The shared materials will be entrusted to
the enterprise organized in the barangay and will be supervised by the
barangay captain.
After the organization of the enterprise,
the trained 15 beneficiaries will nurture holistic development and will be
visited monthly by the project organizers.
|
Project Rationale/Overview: What root causes will the project/initiative respond to? What
information/data have you gathered that led you to identify and focus on this
need/root cause?
At present,
livelihood opportunities for the vulnerable urban poor (VUP) are
insufficient. Under the project, the chosen beneficiaries of the program,
along with local officials, will be organized and will undergo livelihood
skills training, particularly massage (hilot), foot spa, foot scrub, manicure
and pedicure.
The UIC
Chapter believes that our target beneficiaries, who are unemployed single
citizens and mothers, need income-generating livelihood projects such as the
SPA to alleviate them from the idle unemployment atmosphere.
They
will also be trained to work, maintain, sustain and manage the projects that
would address the communities’ most pressing needs.
*Target the root cause of the problem and
not the manifestation of the problem.
|
Who will directly or indirectly benefit from this initiative? How will
they benefit from this project/initiative?
Primarily, the
direct beneficiaries of this project are the people who will serve as
trainees. The indirect beneficiaries of this project are the trainees’ family
and the rest of the community.
The trainees
will serve as the volunteers where they can receive compensation in exchange
for their services rendered. The volunteers can also find an opportunity to
be productive and make their lives better.
|
What are your expected outcomes? What impact will the
project/initiative have on the community you serve:
(Ex: The project will raise awareness on
solid waste issues in the community. It will encourage at least 50 households
to start segregating their waste.)

WHO: How will each team member get
involved and contribute to the project/initiative?
