COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN OUR LADY OF
FATIMA UNIVERSITY
COMMUNITY
Mission
Social Orientation and Community Involvement at the Our Lady
of Fatima University provides an avenue for the promotion of
volunteerism among students, employees, and other
stakeholders through its programs that are sustainable,
empowering, gender-sensitive, and issue-related. These focus
on the areas of Health, Education/ Environment, Livelihood,
Psychosocial, and Safety/Security targeted at its partner
communities.
OBJECTIVES OF THE SOCIAL ORIENTATION AND
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
EDUCATION
Education is universally recognized as one of the most fundamental
building blocks for human development and poverty reduction. When
given the opportunity to learn, people are empowered to contribute
fully to the development of their lives, their communities, and their
country. Education remains one of the efficient means in reducing
poverty, social inequality, and helps lay the foundation for sustained
economic growth.
HELPS PROGRAM
As a learning institution, the university facilitates societal
development primarily through instruction. The students who
will graduate from the university will eventually become
productive members of the society. However, it is a reality that
not everyone is able to undergo formal education. It is also a
known fact that school children from poor families are mostly
poor performers in school. SOCI intervenes through non-
formal supplemental teaching programs. The main concern
on education deals in promoting children’s delight in talking,
listening, reading, and writing. Children who have reading
difficulties in the primary grades often have limited early
literacy learning experiences. Aside from these, SOCI also
assists in providing necessary skills such as computer literacy
for children.
HELPS PROGRAM
ENVIRONMENT
Environment degradation is a major global issue. Our country
belongs to the most vulnerable areas in terms of adverse
impacts of weather-related calamities. With that, advocacies
on environmental protection and climate change adaptation
must be put forward as part of the programs of SOCI. We all
live in one major ecosystem, and what we do echoes in all
other areas of our society.
SOCI conducts environmental activities such as seminars on
climate change, coastal cleanup activities, tree planting, and
other activities.
HELPS PROGRAM
LIVELIHOOD
The majority of households in the communities
adopted by the university have low family income.
SOCI implements livelihood projects to help augment
the income of these families. The livelihood projects
implemented are based on the needs and existing
skills of the community. The community is part of the
decision-making process on appropriate livelihood
projects that will be implemented in the community.
HELPS PROGRAM
PSYCHOSOCIAL
The psycho-spiritual program of SOCI is focused on values
formation, leadership training, and improvement of the
spirituality of the community. This program is aimed at the
young member of the partner community. Believing that the
youth is the future of the nation, we must help shape the
minds of our youth by providing meaningful and productive
activities. SOCI aims to create leaders in the community that
will take over the university’s role in organizing community
development activities once the community becomes
independent.
HELPS PROGRAM
HUMAN RIGHTS
Anchoring the process of human development on international human rights
standards and corresponding obligations established by international law and
corresponding local law
Example Application: Activities in the community are anchored to the bioethical
principles and international human rights statutes.
SOCIAL ADVOCACY
Helping the marginalized to conscientize the general public and people in
authority in order to attain long lasting positive policy changes
Example Application: Observation and promotion of no car policy during chosen
days of the week.
PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
GENDER EQUALITY AND EQUITY
Giving equal opportunity to men and women so they may develop their
personal abilities and attain fairness of treatment for both in accordance to
their respective needs.
Example Application: members of the LGBT are given fair and equal
treatment when being hired for the job.
EMPOWERMENT
Capacitating people to make effective choices or honing their ability to
produce desired changes in one’s life, community or the larger society.
Example Application: A community organizer facilitating a livelihood training
for house wives in the community.
ACCOUNTABILITY
An obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s
actions
Example Application: An institution accepts responsibility and pays for the
damages that they incurred.
PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
PARTNERSHIP BUILDING
Forming strategic alliances between the community, government, business
and civil society to mobilize respective resources and competencies guied by
the values of shared risks cost and mutual benefit.
Example Application: OLFU partners with habitat for Humanity Philippines to
build 50 homes in order to promote and advocate decent homes for
everyone.
PARTICIPATORY DEVELOPMENT
Eliciting the involvement of the local population especially the poor, the
vulnerable and the marginalized in creating policies and in planning,
implementing, monitoring, and evaluating development programs and
projects.
Example Application: A community organizer consults with the community to
know what the problems are in the grassroots level.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

without depleting the ecosystem.
Example Application:

only to gain public support. If we educate the stakeholders, they change their ill informed
attitudes and they will support our plans”
Stages: 1. Manipulation , 2. Therapy
Tokenism
Stage 3: Informing
– stakeholders are kept informed of what is hgoing on but are not offered the
opportunity to contribute themselves. Communication is one way
Stage 4: Consultation
Stakeholders opinions and views are sought through various means but the final
decisions are made by those doing the consulting.
Stage 5: Placation
Stakeholders have an active role as shapers of opinions, ideas and outcomes, but
the final decision remains with the facilitators. Two-way communication is essential
LEVELS OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

COMMUNITY LEADERS
LEADERS’ ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM
It is common for leaders to encounter problems. These problems
measure the leadership skills of an individual. According to Nguyen
(2010), the following are common problems encountered by
communities regarding leadership:
Absence of team identity – team identity is the members’ sense
that they share a bond and a purpose, and absence of such is bad
for the team
Difficulty in making decisions – decision-making is difficult if it will
only be decided based on concepts rather than on actual
experiences, lessons, insights, reflections, and evaluation. A leader
must base decisinos from experiences, right information, and
complexities of the situation.
Poor communication – effective relationship must be put into
practice so as to achieve an effective communication.
Communicating well is a key in having a better community or
organization.
LEADERS’ ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM
Inability to resolve conflicts – conflict arises from differences among
individuals. It is unhealthy for a community or an organization to be in
conlfict and not be able to resolve it. Developing a clear process on conflict
resolution will help a community to prevent unnecessary conflicts from
escalating
Lack of participation – this is a very common problem in groups and
organizations. A group member may be shy, has low self-esteem, lacks
interest or avoids any form of communication. Giving members a
responsibility, valuing members’ inputs, assigning action items, and
encouraging feedback can eliminate lack of participation
Lack of creativity – In order to address lack of creativity, it is important to
tell members that they may speak and do things freely, as long as it is for
the completion of the task at hand.
Absence of group thinking – new ideas are beneficial for a group’s well-
being. The probel arises when some members do not embrace new ideas
or has a mediocre thinking. Critical thinking enable one to take on an
amount of information, sum up information, pick up theories or argunents,
and communicate and justify the point of view he or she has taken.
LEADERS’ ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM
Steps:
Decide what sort of map should be drawn (social,
natural resources, farm, etc.)
Find people who know the area and the topic of
mapping exercise and who are willing to share their
knowledge
Choose a suitable place and medium for the maps
Help the people get started but let them draw the
map by themselves. Be patient and don’t interrupt
Keep a permanent record including mapper’s names

COMMUNITY ORGANIZING
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING
Community Organizing (CO) is a continuous process of living
and awareness raising or conscientization with and in the
context of the people and communities that would develop
and enhance community’s potentials and capabilities, and
collective action and participation leading towards
development and empowerment. It is the process of
development from the people, by the people, and for the
people (Manalili 1994). This refers to the activities aimed at
the grouping of people to struggle for their common needs
and aspirations in a given locality. It revolves around the
people’s lives, experiences, and aspirations. Community
organizing is geared towards the continuing capability
building, self-reliance, and empowerment.
The ultimate goal of community organizing is to effect
changes in social and environmental institutions so that
people can direct their own lives.
