FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
TSKI provides financial assistance to its clients for their jobs
sustenance and for the expansion of their existing business or enterprise
which is expected to give an income or increase in income to them
in general, and creates employment in the community. Likewise, the
financial assistance is also extended to those clients who wish
to start—up a business. The amount granted as a financial
assistance depends on the business or economic undertaking by the
client.
Along this line, TSKI, through the years, implemented various programs
and these are as follows:
1) Proyekto Kauswagan sa Katilingban (PKK)
2) Micro-Enterprise Development Program (MEDP)
3) Community Based Livelihood/Enterprise Development Program (CBLDP)
Proyekto Kauswagan sa Katilingban
(PKK)
PKK is the main thrust program being implemented by TSKI. Initially,
its systems, policies and mechanics were an adoption from the “Grameen
Bank Model” founded by Dr. Yunos of Bangladesh, India. At
present, given with 17 years of experience in grameen program and
the socio-economic and political realities of the area where TSKI
operates, it enhanced and developed its own system, policies and
mechanics that serve as the manual of operation for the program
that really answers the felt needs of the clients/members. The PKK
is popularly known as the group loan, and it is now being implemented
by TSKI in the Visayas Regions, some parts of Southern Luzon and
Mindanao.
Micro-Enterprise Development Program
(MEDP)
MEDP is designed to cater the financial needs of individual entrepreneurs
who have existing business and see the need to expand the said business
but are unable to do so due to limited financial resources. Also,
the MED program serves as the second stage for the PKK members who
were able to establish and develop their enterprises/businesses
and their financial needs are comparatively bigger than what they
avail from the former program.
Community Based Livelihood/Enterprise
Development Program (CBLDP)
CBLDP is the new program established by TSKI designed to cater
the members who have an enterprise or business that its financial
consideration cannot be accommodated in the two mentioned programs.
The primary consideration of this program is that, the livelihood
or enterprise being implemented by an individual or group of persons
is community based in nature. At present, the activity undertaken
under this program is the swine raising at Morobuan, Cabatuan, Iloilo
in cooperation with Panay, Iloilo, Guimaras (PIG) Corporation.
Under this program, also, is the Institutional Building project
where the members of the PKK and MED Programs are organized into
an association. This association is aimed by TSKI to be its partner
with regards to program implementation in their given respective
areas.
