Moreover, a part of your fee goes into a seed fund dedicated to providing members of the association access to interest free loans to make physical improvements, repairs and renovations to their homes. Another major purpose of the seed fund is for the families to build an emergency fund to draw on in the event of a natural disaster, such as typhoon Yolanda which damaged/destroyed 95% of all structures on the island in 2013.
Since the start of the program in 2015, 19 different loans have been granted for a total value of 130,000 PHP.
