SLSU-TO BSBA Documents Success Stories of Project FLEE Beneficiaries

Southern Leyte State University–Tomas Oppus (SLSU-TO) Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) program, in collaboration with the RIES Offices from the Tomas Oppus and Main Campuses, conducted a success story shoot for the Financial Literacy for Economic Enhancement (FLEE) project in Barangay Rizal, Tomas Oppus. The activity aimed to capture and document the transformative impact of the financial literacy training provided to Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries under Project FLEE.

Beneficiaries shared inspiring narratives, highlighting how the training has positively influenced their lives, families, and communities. They reported acquiring practical skills in managing finances, cultivating savings habits, exploring investment options, and venturing into small-scale businesses. Before Project FLEE, the beneficiaries had joined a community-based association. With their learnings, they applied them in their poultry business. Beneficiaries also cited lessons on budgeting, business planning, and marketing as motivators to launch income-generating activities. These developments demonstrate improved financial behaviors and signal potential for sustainable local economic growth.

This reaffirms that Project FLEE is making a tangible difference by equipping communities with the knowledge and confidence to take charge of their financial futures.

The activity aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1: No Poverty, SDG 4: Quality Education, and SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.
