Bohol ADP is in its second phase, which will now end in 2018. World Vision extended the period of support as the community was affected by the 7.2-magnitude Bohol earthquake in 2013. The ADP seeks to alleviate the poverty of around 24 barangays (villages) through a communitybased system of management. It will implement strategies to increase household incomes, provide better schools and health facilities, help the vulnerable own their own homes and build economic independence among people.
In this mainly rural part of the Philippines, agriculture is the main economic activity but the work is hard and returns are poor. In the city, the employment situation is also poor as jobs are low paying and scarce.
Because of the impoverished conditions in the community, 31% of families are unable to provide for the basic needs of all their children, including food, education, health and medical needs.
