Butig Community Construction Cooperative (B3C) is one of the livelihood project implemented by IMPL Project Philippines funded by USAID- Plan International under Marawi Response Project (MRP). This training started last Septermber 2020 with more than one hundred (100) beneficiaries particularly Out of School-Youths (OSYs) from selected barangay’s in Butig specifically in Brgy. Sandab, Brgy Coloyan, Brgy. Samer, Brgy. Poktan and Brgy. Ragayan. The out-of-school youth learned three (3) construction skills namely carpentry, masonry and electrical installation and maintenance (EIM). Basically, the said project mainly focuses on empowering the out of school-youths and their respective communities through skills training.
As MP Maisara’s stated, “When before, they were called OSY or Out-of-School Youths, now they can be called OSY, which stands for OUTSTANDING YOUTHS. They have surmounted the odds and come out stronger for it. IMPL. Project has not just touched the lives of these 103 youth graduates, but through them, they have also touched the lives of countless families and given them new hope.”
Our office showed its gratitude to the IMPL Project Philippines and USAID – Plan International under Marawi Response Project for the Community Construction Cooperative project supports the power of our youth.
