Civil Society Moving Forward

APALIT, PAMPANGA - Buklud Kabalen Inc. a civil society group from Apalit, Pampanga decided to make the next step and move forward for the progress of the organization and also the beneficiaries of their various community projects..

Last March 16, 2009, the group started their Loaning Program which will help the small & medium businessmen and other cabalens who are in need of a small capital to engage in a new business or whatever help the loan may provide. The Loaning Program provides 5% interests for non members and 3% interests for members per month, the group aims to extend loans with low rates so that many can benefit from them.

In addition, BKI also ventured with the Rice Trading Program with farmers in certain barangays. These kind of ventures made by the organization will help them sustain the organization and it's projects.

The organization now still finds more ways on how to increase their funds so that it can stand on its own rather than making various solicitations. With the current financial crisis, it is difficult for any organization to sustain their existance without revolving funds. This is the problem that the group challenges and will try to solve.
