The Livelihood Project under the LINKAPIL’s Program encourages overseas Filipino donors to assist in establishing small-scale or alternative income-generating activities to foster self help among members of local communities, barangays, non-government organizations, and cooperatives.
FtH started providing capital funds for livelihood programs in 1996. These include grants to registered cooperatives and organizations. FtH also provided capital for livestock to qualified beneficiaries.
From 1996 to present, FtH has assisted 22 livelihood programs in Marinduque, Quezon, Cagayan, Aurora, Bohol, Cebu, Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Davao del Sur, Southern Leyte, Isabela, Cavite, Aklan, South Cotabato, Romblon, and Maguindanao.
