The Livelihood Program aims to help Little Children of the Philippines members become self-reliant by teaching marketable 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 parents 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 parents, with the remainder supporting sustainability of the HELPS programs.

LCP also operates a 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 parents to make jewelry, handmade rugs, candles, soaps, greeting cards, cosmetic bags, aprons, t-shirts, and other items sold locally in the Philippines. Some items are available for purchase in the US.
