MisOcc, DSWD grant P8.5-million aid to 34 associations

 


TANGUB CITY, Misamis Occidental – The Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental, together with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and local chief executives, provided P8.5M worth of livelihood assistance to 34 association representatives in the province.

The livelihood grant is intended to boost the livelihood activities of the associations in the province and provide them with the necessary support to help them become productive.

The program offered an incredible opportunity for individuals who wish to expand their existing enterprises and make a positive impact on their community. By taking advantage of this chance, they can explore new avenues for growth and development, which could lead to increased profitability, greater market reach, and more job opportunities for residents.

Each organization with 10-30 members received a start-up capital ranging from P100,000 to P300,000.

Governor Henry S. Oaminal reminded the beneficiaries to use the funds wisely and make the most of the Sustainable Livelihood Program, which can sustain their livelihood and improve their lives.

“Swerte mo kay sa kadaghan organizations karon kamo mao’y nahimong beneficiary niining maong programa. Atong gamiton ang maong pundo sa maong katuyoan kay ang sustainable livelihood program, kini usa ka programa nga makasustinar sa panginabuhi ilabina ninyo mga beneficiaries. Usa kini ka programa nga nahimong instrumento sa usa ka area nga magpuyong malambuon,’’ he said.

Governor Oaminal has ordered the Provincial Social Welfare and Development (PSWD) Office to establish a division for the growth of their businesses in that project, and he also promised to double the assistance from the province.

The DSWD-10 Assistant Regional Director for Operation Ronald Ryan Cui expressed his hope that the beneficiaries of the SLP would take care of their grant and use it for the intended purpose.

“Ang association gitagaan og capital para ma-improve ang inyong panginabuhian. I hope himoon ninyo ang inyong mga role ug gamiton nato sa unsa’y purpose ug sakto nga gamitan ani. Palambo-a ninyo ni kay linya usab kini sa vision sa Asenso MisOcc nga ang mga Misamisnon Magpuyong Malinawon, Malambuon ug Malipayon.

He said SLP will also provide the necessary technical assistance to the 34 associations that helped 661 beneficiaries, guiding them develop their livelihood projects.

This program is a testament to the government's commitment to uplifting the lives of the people in the province and providing them with all the assistance they need.
