Imagine losing not just your home, but your entire way of life. For 15 vulnerable families in Taguig, this isn’t imagination—it’s their reality as they face involuntary resettlement due to the South Commuter Railway Project.

Among these families are elderly individuals living alone, solo parents struggling to provide, and households caring for members with disabilities—all facing an uncertain future with limited resources to rebuild their lives.

The Hidden Cost of Progress

When communities are relocated for infrastructure development, the most vulnerable suffer disproportionately. For Eva, a determined mother running a small sari-sari store, relocation threatens the modest income that feeds her children. For Teresita, an elderly grandmother, it means losing the neighborhood connections that helped her business survive while she cares for her grandchild.

These families aren’t just losing addresses—they’re losing:

– Established customer bases built over years

– Community support networks that sustained their small businesses

– Proximity to markets and suppliers essential for their livelihoods

– The stability that allowed them to care for disabled family members

Your Gift of $4,914.26 Creates Pathways to Self-Sufficiency

The Strengthening the Transition of Vulnerable Communities (STVC-South) project offers a lifeline through targeted livelihood assistance. Your contribution will provide:

Essential Business Capital: Enabling Eva to expand her sari-sari store with frozen goods and school supplies that her new community desperately needs

Critical Equipment: Helping Teresita purchase a refrigerator so she can sell more products and continue supporting her grandchild’s education

Transportation Solutions: Providing Michael the means to purchase a tricycle, creating reliable income while his parents launch a complementary food business

Beyond Survival: Building Sustainable Futures

When you support these families, you’re not offering charity—you’re investing in resilience. Each beneficiary has already completed extensive training in business management, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship. They have the skills and determination; they simply need the resources to apply them in their new environment.

Your contribution ensures:

– Families maintain financial independence despite displacement

– Children continue their education without interruption

– Elderly and disabled community members receive proper care

– New communities benefit from essential services provided by these small businesses

The Time for Action is Now

Every day these families remain without livelihood support after relocation means:

• More children going to bed hungry despite their parents’ best efforts
• More elderly individuals facing isolation and financial insecurity
• More families with disabled members unable to afford proper care

But with your help, these 15 families can transform displacement into opportunity. They can establish thriving businesses that serve their new communities. They can demonstrate remarkable resilience in the face of involuntary resettlement.
