PROJECT/ACTIVITY INFORMATION
 Project Title: Financial Empowerment: Stipend Support for Parents with Disabilities
 Schedule: January 2025 - December 2025
 Duration: 12 months
 Venue: Community Centers and Online Platforms (for workshops and meetings)
 Participants:
 Estimated Total: 100 parents with disabilities (50 Male, 50 Female)
 Budgetary Requirements: $50,000
 Sources of Funds: Grants from local government agencies, private donations, and crowdfunding
campaigns.
II. RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND
The current context reveals that parents with disabilities often face significant challenges in providing for
their families due to limited access to employment opportunities, discrimination, and the high costs
associated with raising children. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 15% of the
global population lives with some form of disability, and many of these individuals are parents. The
financial strain on these families can lead to increased stress and decreased quality of life.This project
aims to address the economic hardships faced by parents with disabilities by providing stipends that will
alleviate financial burdens and promote stability. By offering financial support, we can empower these
parents to focus on their children's well-being and development rather than solely on economic survival.
Evidence from similar programs indicates that financial assistance can lead to improved mental health
outcomes and increased participation in community activities.
III. LEGAL BASIS
The project aligns with the following legal mandates:
 Republic Act No. 7277 (Magna Carta for Disabled Persons)
 Republic Act No. 9442 (An Act Amending RA 7277)
 Local government ordinances supporting the welfare of persons with disabilities.
IV. OBJECTIVES
General Objective:
To enhance the financial stability and overall well-being of parents with disabilities through direct
stipend support.Specific Objectives:
1. To provide monthly stipends to at least 100 parents with disabilities for one year.
2. To conduct financial literacy workshops aimed at helping participants manage their finances
effectively.
3. To create a support network for PWD parents to share resources, experiences, and advice.
4. To evaluate the impact of stipend support on participants' quality of life and family dynamics.
V. EXPECTED OUTPUT/OUTCOME
Outputs:
 Distribution of monthly stipends to 100 eligible parents with disabilities.
 Completion of four financial literacy workshops attended by at least 80% of participants.
 Establishment of a support network that includes regular meetings and online forums for PWD
parents.
Outcomes:
Improved financial stability for participating families, leading to reduced stress levels.
 Enhanced financial management skills among participants, resulting in better budgeting and
savings practices.
 Increased community engagement and support among parents with disabilities, fostering a
sense of belonging and empowerment.
This proposal seeks to create a sustainable impact on the lives of parents with disabilities, ensuring they
have the necessary resources to thrive both financially and socially within their communities.

To ensure the sustainability of the project's benefits after completion:
 Establish Partnerships: Collaborate with local organizations that can continue providing support
services for PWD parents.
 Create Resource Materials: Develop guides and materials from the financial literacy workshops
that can be shared with community centers for ongoing education.
 Advocacy for Continued Funding: Engage local government officials to advocate for ongoing
financial support programs for PWD families.
 Support Network Continuation: Encourage the formation of self-sustaining support groups
among participants that can continue meeting beyond the project timeline.
This comprehensive approach aims not only to provide immediate financial relief but also to empower
parents with disabilities through education and community support, ensuring long-term benefits for
them and their families.
