Challenge

Due to social discrimination and physical limitations, many people with disability are jobless. Most of them depend on their families for food, a lot of them are begging in the streets. Some of them form self-help organization such as the cooperative that manufactures school chairs. This is the source of income but of course, the market is not steady. Aside from this, may students in public schools in the Philippines are deprived of school chair.

Solution

By donating funds to produce 2,000 school chairs, 2,000 students will benefit in the public schools and will provide a healthy learning environment for them. To add to this, the production of 2,000 chairs will provide jobs to 200 people with disability in the Philippines. They will have sources of income and they can be economically independent. They will no longer rely to others for their food and basic needs.

Long-Term Impact

Having school facilities such as school chairs will provide a good learning environment to 2,000 young poor students in the Philippines. The majority of the students in public schools are poor children hence, a good education and environment can prepare them to have a better future. 200 People with disability manufacturing the school chairs will have an increased self-esteem that they can be productive and that they can be reliable despite their disability. This will give them confidence to work
