World of Change MakersBusiness Name: Hand-I-Work
Mission
Hand-I-Works mission is to provide teenagers (those whose families are financially challenged) with a knowledge and hands on experience of how to earn money, the cheapest and easiest way possible without having to ask their parents for daily expenses and needs. The use of their own ability to think of designs and make it into actual pieces would be the challenge that only they can fulfil and be proud of.
Vision
The company aims to make one area in a depressed community be self-sufficient and give them hope that they can work hard together to achieve a better life. After a few months, the company would choose another location and hopefully in a year would be able to reach out to more areas reaching as far as Luzon. The company aspires that the training business would have a domino effect on the trainees that they too would eventually give their knowledge to others who are willing to learn and earn.

Hello world of changemakers,
ReplyDeleteYour blog never fails to amaze me. It always offers something new every time i visit it. This is a real WOW! The concept is very much similar to an associate degree in entrepreneurship. Your group is really something. It just blows me away. ;)
It's great that your target market is young maids who totally have no opportunity to make their lives better except winning lottery. I remember one of my family's maids before. She's already 18 years old then but she hadn't finished high school yet. We helped her take an advance placement test so she can have her high school diploma without spending more years to complete high school. Unfortunately, she failed the exam. The only way she could think of to improve her lot was to get married. So at 20 years old, she's married with two kids. I don't think her life was any better now than before. I guess things are more difficult for her now.
This kind of story is repeated a number of times in the lives of poor young women. Teaching them a craft such as accessory/jewelry making including the basics of running a business is a small step towards the right direction. This will build the confidence of young women and give them hope for the future. In acquiring skills and earning a decent sum of money, they will be empowered to achieve bigger dreams and encourage other young women that with the right opportunity such as Hand-i-Work, they too can improve their lives.
More power to Hand-i-Work. I look forward the day when this venture transforms society in a magnitude and impact that Gawad Kalinga (GK) is able to achieve.
This undertaking definitely lives up to the example set up by Mohammad Yunus.
This is THE blog!

I guess I should be more precise: associate degree in entrepreneurship major in jewelry and accessory design :)

This is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteEspecially nowadays when employment and poverty has a direct relationship.
I really do think that entrepreneurship is one of the answers to address the social problem.
Way to go!

The business concept is really great and we hope that it will surely help in diminishing our current social problems..It really gives a pleasant feeling to think that even at our very young age we are able to come up with such great ideas on how to earn and at the same time improving lives of other people. I hope Hand-i-Work will inspire a lot of people and let this be the start of a better society.
