The livelihood project was done at the Emilio Jacinto Elementary School in Tondo, Manila, which has more than 2000 students enrolled. The main objective of these livelihood workshop is to enable community members to equip themselves with alternative means of livelihood for the benefit of their families.
Based on a survey of the various communities RCM-PDR supports, the club chose to give priority to this 10-day food processing and preservation workshop as a result of its needs assessment of the Tondo community as well as the urgency of the need and impact of the said program on the lives of residents of this community.
Pres. Washington Roqueza said that thru this project, RCM-PDR hopes to address one of the service thrusts for this Rotary Year - Health and Hunger.
RCM-PDR is also embarking on livelihood enhancing and other service projects in other adopted communities such as Makati-Palanan area as well as some depressed areas in Manila, particularly in Tondo-South Harbor, Paco-Pandacan-Sampaloc, and Malate-San Andres Bukid.
