AforE3Ronna Christma Caalim-Englisa

INTRODUCTIONPROJECT TITLE: AforE3 (Action for Environment,

Education and Economy

PROBLEM STATEMENT: In the barangays of the municipality of Tukuran, a lot of pupils lack school supplies and most families have troubles in financial support despite the 4Ps. There is also a widespread improper disposal of the juice tote packs and plastic bottles.

INTRODUCTIONCOMMUNITY NEEDS: The pupils in the barrio schools located at the farther parts of the municipality of Tukuran such as Laperian needed school supplies especially bags because some of them just use cellophanes or others don’t even go to school at all just because they don’t have a bag.. Out of school youths and unemployed residents needed a source of income and since sealed juice packs and water bottles are thrown almost anywhere, the community needs a strategy to help reduce these recyclable materials in the landfills and in the community.

INTRODUCTIONOBJECTIVES:

• To be able to provide the less fortunate pupils in the barangay of Tukuran school supplies made out of recycled materials.

• To help promote environmental advocay to the youth in the community and strengthen social interactions.

• To provide income for those unemployed residents and out of school youths.

INTRODUCTIONSOLUTION STATEMENT: In order to help provide these kids school supplies, we will donate to them juice pack tote bags and inside those tote bags will be the soda bottle pencil case with pencils, crayons, ballpen and etc. donated by the people in the community and recycled notebooks made by putting together the unused pages of a spring notebook and making them to one brand new notebook by weaving it using a yarn. Then, throughout the year with the help of this project’s partners, the out of school youth and unemployed residents will use this as their source of income in which they can sell these and during the summer, the sales will stop and the products they will make will be again donated to another recipient school.

INTRODUCTIONOUTPUT: 50-80 sets of school supplies for 25-30 volunteers, more than 50 pupils will be given the school supplies, 2 weeks for the collection of materials, 4 weekends for the crafting and one day (morning until afternoon) for the implementation and distribution.

OUTCOME: The families that will use these crafts as source of income will have a better financial support compared before and there will be a heightened environmental awareness and advocacy not only to the youth but also to everyone; lesser or reduced amount of juice packs and bottles thrown everywhere; pupils are more encouraged to go to school.

HOW DO YOU ENSURE

SUSTAINABILITY?

Through the coordination with the LGU, continuous partnership with other government and non-government organizations, continuous spreading of the news about the project and accepting volunteers, there will be enough manpower and financial support.

And through proper leadership, maintenance of the volunteer group and continuously updating, there will be enough order and consistency, even improvement of the project.

And that is how I ensure the sustainability of the AforE3.

Salamat!
