02 2016 CAMP Annual Report

Season 2 Begins: Transforming the Entire Community.

As of the end of 2016, CAMP is carrying out 16 projects all at the same time in Towerville relocation site both in Minuyan and Gaya-gaya, San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, in the Philippines. Our goal is creating sustainable and viable communities, not holding one-off events. We encourage community members to take ownership of changing the community, and to lay an independent and viable foundation in the forms of social enterprise and cooperative. CAMP organizes various projects to meet community needs, but it is not easy to introduce the social economy model, where sustainability is the key. It has already been difficult to invest, produce quality goods, and sell them in the market. And the social economy model requires much more efforts to engage inexperienced community members to participate in, if not lead, all processes.

It s been 5 years since we opened the Livelihood Sewing Center in 2011 based on the field survey of 2010. It is not a long period of time, but we set up a clear principle of putting working mothers at the center of the project. Some people were concerned that the approach could be inefficient. However, CAMP stayed patient and let the mothers to take their time to lead the organization. It is too early to call it a success, but mothers have pooled their wisdom to resolve problems themselves, and made small but meaningful changes together. There have been many trials and errors, of course. Conflicts do occur. Each project seemed to make progress, but we saw little synergy among our projects. We were deeply concerned that the community would not be transformed unless we overcome the situation.

GREETINGS

Reverend Chulyong Lee, CAMP Chair


CAMP identified these issues in the year-end evaluation of our projects in 2016, and began looking for a breakthrough. We ve carried out job creation, health care, education, and poultry farming projects based on our integrated approach. We ve experienced many changes so far, and laid the foundation for projects meeting community needs. We decided to call the 2007~2016 period Season1. Our Season2 from 2017 will build on the progress of Season1, and aim at transforming the entire Towerville community by creating organic relations and synergy among our projects.

In Season2, we will clear up much of the future uncertainty, and make practical changes in Towerville for the next 10 years. Each project will establish clear membership and ownership, and the 16 projects will create familyship together, leading to a transformation of Towerville. Social enterprises and cooperatives will strengthen membership among community members. Based on the membership, ownership is created when the members become genuine owners of each project. In fact, ownership is not enough. When the ownership of each project is combined together to form familyship, the dream of CAMP will come true in Towerville.

Now, we run towards Season2.

CAMP creates a model of sustainable community development led by community members.

2016 CAMP Annual Report

Why Social Enterprise?

In the Towerville resettlement area, most of the young people and breadwinners of the family chose to go to Manila to find work. Women are typically left at home alone to take care of their family and kids. The biggest challenge in the community is the lack of employment. CAMP recognized the need to create jobs and to help alleviate poverty in Towerville. CAMP opened the Job Training Center to train community members and established the Livelihood Sewing Center and the Bakery as social enterprises to provide jobs to them. With this, we are trying to lay down the foundation for a viable community. These projects were prepared by a 15-month joint field survey of Korean and local experts that began in 2010. The survey led to two major principles: a) community members must be the one to decide which business sector a social enterprise would enter, and b) social enterprises must not compete against businesses run by the community members, regardless of small they are.

I m excited because I can work another day. I feel proud to create value with the techniques I learned, and let my children smile brightly. Working as a member of a social enterprise is not just about having a job. It gives me a sense of meaning. I make the community healthier with neighbors as an owner of it.

Stable Job, Viable Community with Hope

Social Enter-prise


Through the community orientations, CAMP found out that the community members are having difficulty in buying school uniforms for their children in Towerville. It was suggested that mothers can also make school uniforms themselves, but they needed a vocational and technical training so that they will be able to learn the skills needed to make clothes. The training will also give them better chances of being employed. In 2011, CAMP first began the job training for the Livelihood Sewing Center and the Bakery.

During the job training sessions, students are taught by instructions from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in the Philippines. The objective of the job training is for the students to acquire level 2 national certificate with TESDA. This certification will also allow them to work overseas. The training center offers 4-month dress-making course and a one-month bread and pastry courses. During the training, the students were also given an orientation on social enterprise and capacity building workshops. Every December, we celebrate the graduation of the students by organizing a fashion show and bread show highlighting the works of each student.

The job Training Center has produced approximately 400 graduates in the last 5 years.

Igting, the Livelihood Sewing Center is a social enterprise that was established in Towerville in 2011. It has about 70 members-employees as of 2016. Members actively lead the business by participating in all of the organization s processes, including product planning, manufacturing, and marketing. Igting is the brand of the Livelihood Sewing Center. The word roughly translate to the Filipino word to ignite.

Launching Igting to ignites the flame of hope in the lives of mothers, Igting produces school uniform for local schools, bags, T-shirts, and other goods. In August 2016, the second sewing center began its operation in the nearby community of Gaya-gaya, providing more jobs for the community members.

Igting has four committees, including the Marketing. Its members also elect its officers through voting. The leaders report the operational and financial state of the enterprise in monthly meetings, where all members take part in the decision-making process of the social enterprise. The continuous capacity building programs also help members not only become economically independent but also take full ownership in the management of Igting.

Because of a decent sources of income, change is evident in the faces of the mothers and even the bread winners of this family who are mostly working in Manila. They can even support their children to go to school again.

Livelihood Center Bakery

Employees in the Bakery

17 Young people are the future leaders of the community. Yet, many of them leave the community for jobs or stay unemployed at home. CAMP founded the Bakery as a social enterprise to address this problem. With this, the training graduates will have better opportunities to find jobs with the skills that they have learned during the bakery training.

Back in 2013, the bakery opened a small store in Towerville. After a few months, a community member began another bakery just next to the store, in order to not to compete with the local business, CAMP decided to close the store and instead focus on supplying bread to small stores in local schools, the Early Childhood Education Center, and the Livelihood Sewing Center. Igting bakery aims to provide healthy food with fresh ingredients to the community. The bakery members also regularly take part in capacity building programs on product development and management.

The bakery transformed the lives of the young people. After joining the bakery, some members went back to school , while some continued to further develop the bakery social enterprise.

We hope that with the joint program of the bakery social enterprise and the Early Childhood Education Center, the kids and the youth will grow healthy and become productive members of the Towerville community.


Education

Why Education Project?

Children and youth is about half of the population of the Philippines, where abortion is prohibited and the birth rate is high. The country is in serious short of public education infrastructure, and Towerville is not, excepted to it. The ratio of teachers and classrooms to students is not proportion in Towerville to provide quality education. They have to divide one day into two or three different sessions to accommodate different grades of students in the limited space. CAMP began taking care of the marginalized children and provide a scholarship and leadership formation program for the youth, who will change the future of Towerville.

I feel assured that the Early Childhood Education Center takes a good care of my child, and I can focus on my work during the day. My eldest child receive scholarship, she learns to care about the community and our neighbors. Many children in the community used to spend their time on the streets, which are dangerous for them. Now they enjoy reading books, and watching marionette shows in the KAMPO LIBRO Library.

Future of Community Grows with Children


The KAMPO LIBRO Library is the community s only educational facility with more than 3,000 books on various fields, actively used by community members with different age level. It is not just a place for reading books But also offers courses on painting, sex education for the youth and storytelling for the children, film showing and health awareness program for pregnant women. The Pakwanan Library, is a place of fun, that promotes education and culture equality, which was established in the nearby community of Gaya-gaya in 2016.

Children come to the library for special programs with their family. It is also a form of lifelong education, as parents read books together with their children. Librarians feel that it is profoundly rewarding to help transform their own community by taking care of the library. Community member s use and run KAMPO LIBRO and Pakwanan Library together. They are inseparable from the community.

Many communities lack facilities for childcare and early childhood education. Struggling families don t have time to take care of their children. CAMP has established and run new Early Childhood Education Centers, and provides financial support for existing Centers so that they can continue to operate and help in building and molding the communities young minds.

Early Childhood Education Centers need to provide safe space for children, well-designed curriculum, and nutritious food. Teachers, who are community members, educate and take care of the children like their own. Igting Bakery supplies delicious and nutritious food for the children. Students together with their family have fun with monthly activities such as team building, contests, and speech competitions, where family members come together and share memorable experiences.

The Early Childhood Education Center run by CAMP build up good reputation that parents starts to line up in front of the Center from 2 A.M. for admission at the beginning of a new semester. The Center will expand various activities to give children and parents more time to smile together.

Towerville is in absolute poverty. Many students have to give up advancing to the next level of education, and begin to work, even if they don t want to. CAMP provides allowance grant as stepping stones for students in Towerville s four National High Schools.

CAMP established partnerships with four national high schools in Towerville, and offers monthly allowance grant for students. We also encourage scholars to come together for regular meetings, where they volunteer for the community, support special programs in the library, and help drop outs to come back to the school and continue their study.

The students are so grateful that they can now focus on studying instead of spending time on making money and lessen the burden of their parents.

The fact that Towerville is a resettlement area, many people want to leave the community to attain economic success. It is natural, for the youth to consider going to cities. That s why CAMP decided to educate and mold youth leaders for Towerville in to 20 years from now. The youth has the potential to transform a community, and CAMP encourages them to take ownership of it.

In CAMP Leadership program, the school selected well-performing students with potentials selected from three local high schools. The schools teach them the values of sharing and serving. We help them experience and learn what they couldn t in Towerville, through special lecture, study tour, team building, campaign, and other activities. Students discuss monthly issues such as the environment, human rights, gender sensitivity and community awareness to broaden their perspectives.

The youth used to be discouraged without opportunity. They ve now become active and lively in the CAMP Leadership School. They take interest in social issues, and think hard about how to be part of the solution. With the long-term investment in education, students in the Leadership School will grow up as young leaders of the community who can transform the world.

Health Care

Why Health Care Project?

Towerville, a community of about 90,000 population, didn t have sufficient medical facility and personnel like a full-time doctor. It is a medical blind spot, where the basic human right to health is not guaranteed. Community members can t afford to see a doctor when they re sick, and often leave patients in their families untreated. Many develop complications from diseases that are preventable if only given timely primary care, and in serious cases, some lose their lives. For a healthy community for all, CAMP began disease prevention activities, such as basic health care services, and the 24-Hour Emergency Transportation System.

We were always worried about traveling to clinics far away from here. I m so happy that we now have the Community Health Clinic close from home. I m relieved that I can keep my children healthy and use the 24-hour Emergency Transportation System if necessary. Taking care of one another gives me a sense of responsibility and pride.

Healthy Community based on Community Members Ownership


CAMP set up a program to train and nurture community health workers, who help treat outpatients and visit those with chronic diseases for preventative regular checkups. Community members feel relieved that they can receive health services when they re sick. As much as 40 patients per day visit the Community Health Clinic on the average. The Clinic takes care of neglected patients in critical conditions with preventative activities such as home visits, and patient tracking and management. CAMP is creating a health system where no one is left behind, raising family awareness about human rights and the right to health.

Towerville lacks appropriate measures to take care of pregnant women, and those with non-communicable diseases (NCD) such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart diseases. The city government is not capable of making a rapid response to emergencies and patients in critical conditions. Unfortunately, it leads to many preventable losses. Community members decided to work together to take care of patients in critical conditions, and established the Emergency Transportation System (ETS) in cooperation with block leaders.

The ETS is a participatory organization based on voluntary cooperation among community members. Applicants are taught with basic knowledge on health, and trained for disaster evacuation and first aid. The ETS set up a system to monitor the location and risk of patients in the community with a health map, and transfer them to the nearest hospital with an emergency contact network, if necessary. Trained ETS members also carry out regular health monitoring for community members to identify and manage diseases early, and to prevent an emergency from happening.

It is highly encouraging that community members took the initiative to tackle the issues of the community, which have been neglected and excluded by the government. CAMP is working hard to make it a model that can spread across resettlement areas in the philippines.

CAMP visited homes and found out that many community members have chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. People often eat salty, fried food as they don t have a refrigerator, and depend too much on rice in their diet. Due to the hot climate of the tropics, people have set times for snack at 10 A.M. and 3 P.M., when a lot of snacks and carbonated drinks are consumed. This daily pattern results in a high risk of chronic diseases among adults.

CAMP realized that the community was in urgent need for health education, and began health awareness activities such as group seminars and workshops. We offer regular checkups, education on women s health and diabetes, and youth programs for quitting smoking and physical exercise and awareness activity in the waiting area of the clinic with video and handouts.

Health education is effective in raising awareness of the community. Many community members improved their dietary habits, hygiene, and early response to diseases. Now they stay healthier with their families. It also helps reducing health care costs.

Agri-culture

Why Organic Farming?

People consume a lot of chicken and pork in the Philippines. CAMP decided to create a business model for poultry and piggery farms. Unlike factory farms that raise and sell chicks in large numbers, CAMP produces healthy food in an eco-friendly environment.

Chicks are growing fast in a nice environment. Breadwinners and the young people are earning much more, and the community has high expectations. I hope that the independent, small-scale model spread into communities nearby, and that we work hard and smile all together.

Breadwinners Feel More Confident As Chicks Grow


CAMP established organic poultry and piggery farms as social enterprises to create job opportunities for the poor. Community members are encouraged to learn agricultural techniques and take ownership of the enterprises. A part of the chicken and pork from the eco-friendly environment are used for healthy meals for children in the poor community. The project s goal is to reduce poverty by creating jobs for the community, and producing organic egg with high added value.

The organic farming houses have a healthy, free-range environment in contrast to large-scale factory farming. Animals are fed with natural stock feed (grains fermented by microorganism) to produce healthy food with high immunity. Local, eco-friendly feeds such as herbs, corn, and rice bran are used on the livestock. As the demand for organic food grows in the Philippines, they have a great potential for developing a highly profitable business model with high added-value products.

Community members were surprised that they can use idle lands and natural environment for organic farming. The youth discovered a new hope and vision for agriculture, and began learning how to grow the business model.

I ve been waiting for a place for daily fun where I can share good food with good people. I m excited that I will be able to share delicious and healthy food with my family in the community, not in cities far from here.

Healthy Food, Happy Table

Community restaurant


CAMP plans to open a community restaurant based on experiences and know-how acquired over the years. The Philippines has a party culture, wherein family members come together during Christmas party and a birthday party. But Towerville has no place to eat out together, and people have to take the expensive tricycle to go to other areas.

With this situation, CAMP plans to open a community restaurant in front of the Towerville center in 2017. The restaurant will offer healthy food supplied by the Organic Poultry House, and create employment and income source for the job trainees in the bread and pastry and new members of the community. Part of its profits will be used to provide meals for community children.

Why International Solidarity?

CAMP has a basic principle: identify community needs first, and organize projects with and for the community. We engage local governments and community organizations for close consultation, and carry out projects in the long-term as a partner, for example, by signing an MOU with local governments, public agencies, and educational institutions. In 2015, CAMP received the Best Partner Award from the National Housing Authority of the Philippines.

Inter-national Solidarity

CAMP is not bossy. They ve worked with us for a long time, and became friends walking side by side. They always listen to the voices of community members, and plan for the future of the community together. Thanks to the strong, community-based cooperation, community members are becoming more active, and increasingly taking ownership of the community.

Walking Together in the Path of Cooperation


Local PartnershipCAMP closely cooperates through a partnerships with the local government of City of San Jose Del Monte, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the National Housing Authority (NHA) as well as the different Barangay in the community and the Home Owners Association (HOA). We also work with the College of Social Work and Community Development of the University of the Philippines, Bulacan State University, and four (4) high schools in the community for health care projects, community capacity building and leadership programs.

Moreover, we have established partnership with the Manila North Conference of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines and worked with 5 local churches (Balete Church, Sapang Palay Church, Happy Valley Church, Marcela Church and Towerville Community Church).

International ExchangesCAMP makes exchanges with cooperatives and other social economy organizations of Asia and Europe to learn about best practices led by community members, and share CAMP s experiences. We also publicize Korea s contribution to international development among international organizations and NGOs.

Why Community Development Center?

CAMP fights poverty not just by taking actions on the field, but also by carrying out researches and education programs on various community issues. In particular, we provide first-hand experiences on the fields of international development for the youth to become citizens of the global village. The Asia Community Development Center in Towerville runs various education and study tour programs, where theory and practice are combined. CAMP is committed to developing the potential of the youths to become future leaders fighting poverty and to become global social entrepreneurs.

Community Development Center

Taking action by itself is not enough for improvement. We continue to conduct research on community issues and we share and learn good practices. It empowers the community to create a better future.

Discovering Sustainable Development on the Field


The Community Development Center runs various programs. International Development Education Program offers both international development theory and field experiences for NGO staff, as well as the youth and adults. Long-Short-term Volunteer Program provide practical field experiences for future development cooperation activists. The Center also has diverse employee trainings and international exchange programs. Public events and research publications help promote and share CAMP s activities.

CAMP is committed to the Sustainable Development Goals declared at the UN General Assembly on September 28, 2015. We focus on 9 Goals (Goal 1~5, 7, 8, 11, 13), and organize projects based on our strategy to implement these goals. The Community Development Center plans to publish a CAMP SDGs Implementation Report on the impact of our projects on the SDGs.

A Story of Hope

Elizabeth Carag is one of the newest members of Igting. She finished her 4-month dressmaking training and has acquired her TESDA National Certificate last December 2016. From a community member who thought that joining Igting was just a dream, she s now one of the most active members in the Igting organization.

Relocated by a Massive Railway Project Before relocating in Bulacan, she lives in Sampaloc Manila with her husband and kids. Since they don t have their own house yet,

they are living in her husband s relative s house. In 2008, the government started the construction of the Northrail-Southrail Linkage Project. Thousands of informal settlers living near the railroad were evicted and relocated to give way to the government s urban development project. They are one of the families affected by this project. Rather than looking at this situation as a big problem, Nanay Beth saw this as an opportunity to have their own house. They decided to join the families that were relocated in Bulacan since it is the nearest relocation site from Manila.


Rebuilding their lives in TowervilleLife after the relocation was very difficult for Nanay Beth s family. There are no job opportunities near Bulacan, so her husband needs to go back to Manila in order to find work. When they first started living in Towerville, they have plenty of appliances and furniture, but then they decided to sell them one by one because of financial difficulty. During that time, her husband doesn t have a regular job yet, so they have to budget their money to support their daily food expenses and education of their kids, as well as her husband s transportation fare from Bulacan to Manila. Finally in 2015, her husband became a regular employee. He works as a technician in one of the hotels in Manila. Her husband usually works even 3 shifts straight if there s no one to take his work. But months later, he had a hard attack because of overwork. He passed away, leaving Nanay Beth and their 7 kids.

Learning how to stand on her ownWithout her husband, Nanay Beth must now take care of her seven kids. While struggling to budget her husband s monthly pension in order to cover all their family s expenses, she also tried to work in various jobs. In 2016,

Nanay Beth took the opportunity to join the dressmaking training. While training, she also works as house helper so that she can extra earn money. The free grocery and rice that she receives from the training was also a big help for her family. It helped her ease the burden of thinking where will they get money to buy rice and food. After 4 months, she finally finished the training and passed the TESDA examination.

Never stop learningAfter the training, she immediately joined Igting. She first started making bags, and then she strived to learn to how to make uniforms. There are only few new members who wanted to join the uniform line since it is difficult to make, but this did not stop Nanay Beth to keep learning. It was difficult at first, during her early months, she only earns around P27 pesos. Then months later, she earns P300, then it became P500 and P800. There was even a time where she reached P2000 when she became good in making uniforms. According to Nanay Beth, at first she thought that joining Igting was just a dream, but now that she is an Igting member, there s a feeling of fulfillment. Aside from learning new skills, she also gained confidence to make and create things, and also new friends and family in Igting. She believes that a person should really strive hard and never stop learning. At first, she has experienced many rejects and problems but this did not stop her from learning and striving. This is what she also dreams for her kids, to keep learning and finish their studies so that they will graduate and have reliable jobs. She gets her inspiration to work hard from her kids. For her, being close to her kids and taking care of them are more important than just earning money. That's why she is very happy when she can do both while working in Igting.

She believes that there will always still be hope as long as she has strong faith in God and her family by her side, all striving together.
