Livelihood
The Livelihood Program aims to help Little Children of the Philippines members become self-reliant by teaching participants how to make different kinds of products and to market them using management and marketing skills. The meat-processing project has been particularly successful, with 8,000 packs of chorizo (sausage) being produced every month. This not only provides part-time employment to many women but also gives LCP community members an opportunity to sell the products of their own neighborhoods. Fifty percent of the profit is allocated to the women, with the remainder supporting the LCP residential shelter program, transportation for children to LCP, and community medical kits, thereby contributing to sustainability.
There is also a thriving pig-dispersal program where families keep a sow, and when she breeds, the family passes two of the piglets to another family. The cycle is then repeated.
LCP also provides opportunities for mothers to sew school uniforms and backpacks, which are sold to other children and youth, providing better quality than the ones purchased in the store. A new commercial embroidery machine has been purchased. It is now being used to beautify the handmade greeting cards, eyeglass cases, makeup bags, aprons, t-shirts, and other items sold in local resorts and to volunteers.
