In Navotas City, 74 determined scholars wake up each day facing an impossible choice: pursue their education or help put food on their family’s table. These bright young minds have the talent and determination to succeed—but without financial support, their educational dreams will remain just that—dreams.
A Business That Funds Futures
The Hope for Scholars Print Shop isn’t just a business—it’s a lifeline that transforms students from scholarship recipients into entrepreneurs. With your sponsorship of $6,968.39, these scholars will:
- Create Their Own Opportunity: Student volunteers will manage a fully operational printing and souvenir shop, generating allowances that cover their daily school expenses.
- Develop Career-Ready Skills: While earning income, they’ll gain hands-on experience in graphic design, customer service, inventory management, and business operations.
- Build Sustainable Support: Rather than depending solely on donations, these students will create their own funding source that grows as they learn.
Your Gift Creates Lasting Change
Pure Bayanihan has already proven this model’s effectiveness through a similar initiative in San Quintin, Pangasinan. There, out-of-school youth returned to education through a community print shop that allocates 40% of revenue to an educational fund.
Your sponsorship will bring this proven success to Navotas by funding:
- Essential Equipment: Professional-grade printing machines and computers that produce market-ready products
- Initial Inventory: High-quality materials for creating souvenirs and printed items
- Business Training: Expert guidance in operations, marketing, and financial management
Three Months of Operations: Covering expenses until the business becomes self-sustaining
The Impact Goes Beyond Education
When you sponsor this print shop, you’re not just helping 74 students stay in school—you’re transforming an entire community:
- Meeting Local Demand: Providing affordable printing services for local businesses, schools, and government offices
- Creating Economic Activity: Generating revenue that circulates within the community
- Developing Future Leaders: Equipping young people with entrepreneurial skills that will benefit Navotas for generations
“This type of business is perfect for youth,” explains a community leader from the San Quintin project. “They quickly learn technology, easily picking up computer skills like layout design and Photoshop. And there’s huge market demand for printed materials from local governments, businesses, and events.
Will You Help Write Their Success Story?
These 74 scholars aren’t looking for handouts—they’re looking for the tools to create their own success. With your support, they’ll transform from students struggling to stay in school into entrepreneurs building their future.
Your gift of $6,968.39 doesn’t just fund a business—it launches 74 futures.
