OECO Projects and Programs Towards their Community Partners

Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan: UE’s Sustainable Community Livelihood Projects

Office of Extension and Community Outreach (OECO) in partnership with the Department of
Labor and Employment-National Capital Region (DOLE-NCR) launched the Kabalikat sa
Kabuhayan Project. Its main objectives centered on empowerment, self-reliance, social
equity, and stability. Twenty-two residents from UE’s adopted communities were awarded
with seed money to help them start up their own small businesses since their chance of
employment is very slim. To enhance their skills in handling business and finances, UE
community worker-volunteers spearheaded a series of intensive seminars, trainings and
workshops. Today, their respective small businesses are continuously operating and served as
their main source of daily living.

College-based Community Outreach Programs

Each College in the University still has its own community outreach programs. For example,
the College of Arts and Sciences oversees a Community Literacy program. The College of
Computer Studies and Systems runs Computer Literacy programs. The College of Dentistry
provides dental services in poor communities.
