Our Programs and Services

The programs and services identified by HEFI to implement in its areas of operation were deemed needed to meet the welfare and developmental needs of its targeted beneficiaries for them to become self-propelling families and active members of their communities.

All targeted clientele shall pass through an assessment process using the Intake Sheet and Case Management System (CMS) Forms as tools. Eligibility study through home visits and collateral interviews shall be done to have a whole picture of the beneficiary’s family situation thus appropriate programs/services could be provided. In the case of clients whose needs could not be met by HEFI’s programs and services, coordination and collaboration shall be done to link the beneficiaries to HEFI’s partner government agencies, NGOs, and other SWADAs.

Follow-ups shall be conducted to make sure that these referred beneficiaries were appropriately assisted. CMS form and progress report shall be updated.

♥ Spiritual and Moral Recovery Program (Executive Order No. 319)

This program will purposely develop in the beneficiary’s mind, body, and spirit that there is a Creator who did everything for the people on this earth and thus He should always be put in the center of all their efforts and energy to improve themselves and become spiritually-motivated people.

♥ Capability Building

Capability Building is one of HEFI's priority programs because it believes it will play a significant role in achieving its Goals, Objectives, Vision, and Mission.

Beneficiaries of this program will be able to:

have a significant opportunity to gain new knowledge and skills, or to improve existing ones;
rediscover themselves;
identify their strengths and weaknesses;
comprehend their parental rights and responsibilities, as well as their children's rights, as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children;
have awareness of resources not only within themselves but also within their families and their surroundings/environment (their communities and the entire world).

♥ Continuous Livelihood Program

This Livelihood Program is very developmental in nature because it will allow the beneficiaries to significantly improve their economic and social status on their own.

Beneficiaries (individuals or groups) who are assessed and found eligible for the program will be granted a capital loan in an amount determined by the needs of their small business. Individual projects shall be granted a minimum of Php5,000.00 and a maximum of Php15,000.00 in capital loans, while group projects shall be granted a loan of Php10,000.00 to Php25,000.00.

♥ Educational Assistance/Scholarship Program

This program is open to deserving and eligible students and/or out-of-school youths (OSYs). While the foundation is unable to fund this program, eligible beneficiaries shall be referred to partner SWADAs and government agencies, specifically the Department of Social Welfare Development (DSWD), the Department of Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and other agencies involved with this program.

♥ Emergency Assistance Program

Beneficiaries who are victims of disasters such as typhoons, floods, earthquakes, fires, and other calamities shall receive timely and immediate programs and services.

Collaboration and coordination with partner government agencies and non-government organizations/SWADAs shall be undertaken to provide material and financial assistance to these families.

REFERRAL SERVICES: A referral system to partner government agencies (DSWD, DOH, etc.) was established for immediate action through the extension of financial and medical assistance for beneficiaries in a crisis with immediate medical needs such as medicines, laboratory services, chemotherapy, dialysis, CT scan, and other expensive treatments and procedures. Beneficiaries and other clients with transportation and burial needs are also served by the aforementioned departments through referrals from the foundation.

"Ayuda," particularly from the DSWD, was also established through the distribution of food packs to beneficiaries in the NCR and Cavite Province during extraordinary situations such as the onset of COVID-19.

♥ Feeding Program (FP)

The feeding program is solely for the malnourished children of member beneficiaries. They are the children who are malnourished in the second (2nd) and third (3rd) degrees. If these children are not immediately helped, they are vulnerable to illnesses such as infectious diseases, rheumatic heart disease, diarrhea, and other serious illnesses in children.

This FP shall be carried out in priority barangays with the highest number of malnourished children aged 3 to 6 years old. This program shall be coordinated with the barangay official who will be in charge of carrying out "Operation Timbang" and identifying the locations for the actual feeding of the children. The Health sector shall be in charge of weighing the children monthly and preparing the Six (6) Monthly Menus that are low-cost and nutritious, while HEFI shall be in charge of the food and ingredients that will be cooked and served to the children.

The FP will last 6 months; each month, the Barangay Health Worker (BHW) shall weigh the children to monitor their health condition progress and to provide Nutrition Education to their parents. After six months of feeding, a HESED Social Worker (SW) or Social Welfare Assistant (SWA) shall conduct an assessment in collaboration with barangay officials and health staff. Children who have not yet reached their normal weight based on their age shall be served again until they reach their normal weight with a new set of children.
