Support 54 Families by Establishing a Community Rice Store

In San Quintin, Pangasinan, 54 casual and job-order government workers earn as little as $17 to $103 monthly—far below the $238 needed to support a family of five. Despite years of dedicated public service, they face daily financial insecurity, often borrowing just to feed their children.

These workers have envisioned a path forward: a community-run rice store. Rice, being the Philippines’ primary staple, ensures consistent demand. By sourcing quality rice from wholesalers and offering competitive pricing, even small-scale operations can generate sustainable profits.

Your contribution can help turn this vision into reality, providing reliable income for 54 households, enabling parents to keep their children in school, and fostering a business with growth potential to expand into other household staples. Even a modest donation can ignite a journey from hardship to hope.

Building a Sustainable Community Rice Store

This initiative aims to establish a rice store in San Quintin, Pangasinan, managed by 54 casual and job-order government workers. The store will source quality rice from wholesalers, ensuring consistent supply and affordable pricing for the community.

The project requires an investment of $12,671, covering the establishment of the store, procurement of initial rice stocks, and necessary training for the workers. By supporting this project, you enable these families to achieve financial stability, break the cycle of poverty, and contribute to the local economy.
