Corporate Social Responsibility Project Proposal Part I-Overview of The Societal Problems
Corporate Social Responsibility Project Proposal Part I-Overview of The Societal Problems
Teenage Pregnancy is a societal problem that needs and urgent action and
occurrence of pregnancy on female under the age of 20. It is a societal problem that is
possible but difficult to eliminate because it is often associated with other societal issues
It is not new for us to hear about the term “teenage pregnancy”. We hear it in school,
we hear it from our parents, we could eavesdrop about them on strangers having a
conversation. It is a worldwide problem that occurred and was far more normal in the
previous centuries. Baxter et al. (2021), in their study about how effective was Teenage
Pregnancy Strategy, said that Teenage pregnancy is associated with numerous health
risks, both to mothers and infants, and may contribute to entrenched social inequalities
and their study also concluded that there was little or no effect/impact of the strategy on
In the Philippines, President Rodrigo R. Duterte signed Executive Order (EO) No.
141, on June 25, 2021, which adopts the implementation of measures to address the
root causes of the rising number of teenage pregnancies as a national priority. In the
deep-seated norms and attitudes that normalize and justify violence against women and
children, lack of information and education, and the vulnerability and exclusion of
women and children living in remote and rural areas are the main causes of the rising
gathered show that Teen Pregnancy rose in the midst of pandemic. In a data presented
and Development Focal Point System Virtual Meeting, 2337 cases of teens aging 15-19
years old were pregnant on the first quarter of the year while 2081 teens are pregnant
during the 2nd quarter, the time where first confirmed cases of COVID-19 were tallied.
With this information, We the proponent, choose the societal problem of teenage
pregnancy and classified it as urgent and we decided to combat it with our program
(TPPADP)
Objectives of the Project: the project aims to reduce, if not possible to eliminate,
teenage pregnancy and improve adolescent reproductive health of the target barangay.
The problem that we are trying to combat with is the rise of Teenage Pregnancy and
help them improve their reproductive health. Also to provide them information and ways
of prevention so that the status of such problem would deflate. We, the proponent, wish
for our adolescent girls to be fulfilling their dreams, enjoy their adolescent lives and build
up their own future instead of getting pregnant early. We wish for a future that there will
be no more children bearing the consequences of having children at a young age. The
solution that we are proposing would be to provide them information by educating them
through having a conference with them and providing essential tools in order for them to
protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy and from sexually transmitted diseases
which goes along our ideas for developing their reproductive health. There could be
risks such as them not participating with the conference or that they would be not willing
to use the tools that we will provide to them due to low literacy or there could be a
hysteria of using them but we are ready to show to them and make them fully
understand our visions of why we want to eliminate such social problems by first
obtaining their trust and respect with our kind actions and mannerly speeches. Also we
first have to observe them when we have them as our audience then we can make
segments of what our action would we take. With this we accept any recommendation
and criticism we would receive in proposing this program and we would like to hear a
The Program expects to see positive results that it help towards the reduction of the
rate of Teenage Pregnancy in the target barangay and hopefully it can do a snowball
effect into our society and also to deflate the associated problems with regards to
teenage pregnancy and to see adolescents with literacy towards their reproductive
health.
We, the proponent, decided that our target beneficiaries would be the adolescents
living in Barangay Karaos. To help define the word “adolescents” means the teenagers
aging 14-19 in which teenage pregnancy usually occurs. The program would include all
male and female adolescents to be part with no matter their status in life.
Geographical area of execution of project and reason for selecting that area :
We, the proponent, decided to choose the area of Barangay Karaos as to where we
would execute the program. The reason for selecting the area would be that one of the
proponent lives in the area and that he observed that some of the adolescents there
where already parents at a young age and he believes that it is a societal problem and
that the problem is a major contributor to the rising rate of poverty in the society where
he lives.

We would like the assistance of the barangay officials and the municipality in
sustaining the project. For the program to continue it’s impact to the future, the idea of
educating the adolescents on improving their reproductive health and shared visions
would directly reflect but to sustain is for the continuous monitoring of such individual
progress for example among the adolescents who participated in the conference there
would be 30-50 of them who would share the ideas they have learned to their respective
families, friends and then the society which would then create a domino effect and in
this way there could be 300-700 indirect beneficiaries or literate individuals that will
apply such learnings towards themselves. For Financial development and in part of our
advocacy initiatives, our team would like to create a crowd-sourcing campaign and also
asks the local government unit (LGU) in helping to fund the said program. The
campaign would also include an annual appeal to further support the project. The
Organization behind the project and we as the proponent would continuously monitor
the results of the project and methodically use the social media as the platform where
we will publicize our reports and findings, and in hopes that it will help us find new
We would like to use the method of crowd-sourcing campaign and also asks the help
of the Local Government Unit (LGU) in funding the program for the tools like
contraceptives, condoms and other. We would also asks for corporations that promotes
reproductive health and in line with our visions and goals to help us and make appeals
an appeal with them to sponsor our program in returns of giving them the best possible
results and also promoting/advertising the use of their products. In hopes to lessen the
expense is that we would also asks for volunteers in our social media platforms.
Monitoring and Evaluation of the Project:
The monitoring and Evaluation of the project would be leaded by our Project
Overseer Mrs. Richel Brua and other staffs with the help of the officials of the target
held every 6 months to also provide the necessary tools in developing their reproductive
health. We would also provide the tools in the target barangay in their respective
