Private Foundations best practice case studies
Dana Asia’s advisory team worked with PAF’s founder to develop entrepreneurial activity – led by locals – in a housing resettlement site for former squatters in Metro Manila, managed by the Housing Co-operative.
- 1 Co-op Market established and fully operational.
- 20 small market-based businesses launched.
- 300 families gained access to affordable, fresh goods.
The huge success of this sustainable micro-economy model means it is now being replicated in a second co-op-run community, with several more in line to follow.
Establishing community-based enterprises that utilise local resources to upgrade small-farmer productivity and increase income to agricultural co-operatives – while also addressing food security issues – is what this project was all about.
Originally born in the Philippines, this Australian entrepreneur and philanthropist funded the development of an organic compost and farm supplies social business in his home town in Bicol, the Philippines.
- 20 farmers supported to upgrade their small businesses through microloans.
- 1 organic fertiliser production centre is under construction.
- 350kg of organic vegetables are grown for sale per month.
Future goals include scaling-up the microlending to new and existing borrowers to further upgrade farms and increase farm production potential.
