Adelina S. Apostol, regional director of the DSWD Field Office III, said the amount funded the 89 SEA-K Level 1 livelihood projects of some 1,816 members worth P13,943,000 and 121 projects with capital assistance worth P1,084,000 under the family enterprise.

“The various projects undertaken by the beneficiaries were anchored on the government’s poverty alleviation initiatives,” Apostol added.

In Pampanga, the 353 beneficiaries undertook 80 projects amounting to P3,913,000. In Aurora, DSWD funded capital assistance to 19 projects amounting to P2,734,000, while 46 projects worth P2,555,000 in Bulacan.

The DSWD Field Office III records also showed that P2,155,000 was released to 30 SEA-K projects in Nueva Ecija Province; P1,510,000 to the 13 projects in Tarlac; P1,325,000 for 13 projects in Bataan; and P835,000 for the nine (9) projects in Zambales.

Evelyn Manalo, DSWD Central Luzon information officer, said the Sea-K program, which provides economic opportunities for the poor, is a capability building program that enhances the socio-economic skills of poor families through the organization of community-based associations for entrepreneurial development.

The Sea-K Level I offers capability-building activities, as well as interest-free capital assistance for micro-enterprises for the marginalized sector, Manalo said.

She added that the Sea-K projects undertaken by the beneficiaries include food processing (tocino, longganisa), manufacturing (loom weaving, bag making), and trade and commerce (buy and sell, sari-sari store). http://www.sunstar.com.ph/pampanga/local-news/2012/07/06/dswd-livelihood-program-benefits-families-230622
