Philippines – Community Growth

Multi Year Project, Southeast Asia

8.63% of $56,000 funded.

This community is truly marginalised and suffers from a number of challenges. Householders have no reliable legal source of income, but they do have local, natural products that they could develop for sale in nearby cities. This project plans to produce Ginger and Citron Tea for sale.

This project is with a new partner, Wycliffe Philippines.

Marriage of underage girls is part of the culture, so education programs will help the community to understand the negative impact of this practice on the girls and the community as a whole. Due to living in partially nomadic groups around forest areas, there is a lack of social cohesion, so the project will attempt to demonstrate ways of working together to improve their financial and social security.

This is a multi-year project

Please note that all donations are processed by Wycliffe Bible Translators Australia. If we receive extra funds, this will go towards next year’s target.
