Solidarity of Oppressed Filipino People Inc.
Savings Mechanism, Livelihood & Food Bank
A proposal submitted by the Crusher Women’s Movement Association, in partnership with Solidarity of Oppressed Filipino People Inc. (DAMPA-SOFP), was formed in 2010 and has been actively fundraising through savings mobilisation for their ongoing livelihood projects, as well as other community projects such as drainage improvement. The proposed action will contribute to this ongoing initiative by strengthening the organization’s capacity to implement its livelihood activities and skills to access various programs and services from the government.
