PROJECT PROPOSAL

Project Proposal
A project proposal is a guide for both students and mentors in attaining tasks while they
are in community project implementation. It serves as a basis of designing the program of
activities and key instruments and inputs in monitoring and evaluating the projects to be
undertaken in the community.

Purpose of a Project Proposal

a. It guides students and mentors in designing a program for their clientele.

b. It facilitates implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the projects.
c. It serves as a data base in making reports as a requirement to the course.

information needed for the project.
e. It serves as a ready source of data for research work.

Parts of a Project Proposal

1. Title & Name. The title of the project must effectively capture the aim or thrust of
the project. The title (in bold) may be in English or Filipino, with a subtitle (in
parenthesis) that concisely describes the main target of the said project. Example:

Length of Implementation.

The project will be implemented in the target locale for 5 days. The first four
days will be allotted for the conduct of catechetical work by the students focusing
on selected Bible stories and teachings of the Catholic Church. Other activities
relevant to the Bible story and Christian teachings discussed will likewise be
provided to the students. On the last day, culmination will happen with a Mass,
an activity and gift-giving to the project participants

5. Objectives of the Project. The objectives of the project must be written in

operational terms on what you intend to do to solve the identified problems related
to the project. The characteristics of the objectives must be specific, measurable,
attainable, realistic, and time bound (SMART). State properly by using the right
verbs that describe what you want to address in relation to the underlying problems
within a certain period of time. Example:

“The general purpose of T.A.AL. is to provide at least twenty (20) children in a

selected evacuation center in Lipa City with activities that promote their faith,
well-being and relational skills with other co-evacuees. Specifically, it seeks to
attain the following objectives:

1. to share with the Children an interesting Bible story every session, and to
highlight valuable lessons that can be obtained from them;
2. to present and discuss selected Christian teachings in relation to the
stories shared; and
3. to provide the students with fun learning activities that enhance their
faith and hope in the Lord despite challenges encountered in life.
6. Project Description. In constructing the description of the project, be guided by the
following questions:
a. What is the project all about?
This portion briefly describe the “anatomy” of the project – what it is about,
its components or phases, and its target beneficiaries.
b. What is to be learned in this community context?
On this part, discuss and enumerate the points of learning that the
proponents may acquire should the project be implemented in the partner
community.
Example:

What is the project about?

T.A.AL.: Tulong at Aral para sa Kapwa Kabatang is a project comprised

of the conduct of catechetical and religious teaching activities among children.
Our group would like to organize afternoon sessions of “catechism and religious
teaching” for the children still staying in an evacuation center in Brgy. Bodbod,
Lipa City.

What is to be learned in this community context?

The partner community is Barangay Bodbod, Lipa City and the specific
locale within the barangay is the current evacuation site situated in Bodbod
National High school. One of our groupmates has little cousins from Laurel,
Batangas who are still staying in the said evacuation center, and we think it is
very important for little kids to learn about Jesus Christ, the Bible and religion in
creative and productive ways especially during this time. Most members of the
group are graduates of De La Salle Lipa in junior and senior high school, so they
have previous experiences in conducting catechetical work and are good at
working with children. It will be valuable for the members of the group to teach
young children as they would like to pursue a career with young children in the
future, as well as to enriching the knowledge of young children about Jesus, the
Bible and their Christian faith.

In implementing this project, we will likewise learn on how to

communicate Christian teachings and values to young children, and will also gain
7. Rationale. The reasons offor
a better understanding proposing

the following points:

a. How the Idea for the Project Developed
This narrates the events or experiences of the students that called for the
proposal of the said project in the partner community.
 b. Students’ Current Knowledge and Skills and How the Project will Enrich
Them
This part discusses what competencies the proponents have at present,
which will be utilized during project implementation. It also justifies how the
project can likewise improve these competencies.
c. Benefits of the Project to the Student’s Lifelong Skills
This part enumerates the lifelong skills that the project can enrich among the
students in the course of its implementation.

How the Idea for the Project Developed

In our RelEd12 subject, we recently had to make classroom presentations

for various Biblical stories taken from the Old Testament. This gave us the idea of
doing a series of catechetical activities for children from a nearby evacuation
center. The activities could be fun things that help them be interested in the Bible
and in learning more about Jesus Christ. The project could also help us in our
future career as we would like to be teachers of young children.

Students’ Current Knowledge and Skills and How the Project will Enrich Them

We are first year Bachelor of Education students taking up a major in

elementary education. Preparing for catechetical and religious teaching activities
can help us apply our points of learning on the principles of education specifically
in lesson preparation. Implementing this project likewise becomes a good way for
us to apply and enhance our knowledge and skills as educators, since the project
gives us the avenue to actually handle “small classes” among young children.

Benefits of the Project to the Students’ Lifelong Skills

Implementing this project will help us understand the needs of various

groups such as parents and young children alike, and give us skills in helping
children understand and learn to love and appreciate Christian teachings through
the life stories of Jesus Christ and other key Biblical characters.
In the conduct of the project the group will have to learn more about faith and
Christian teachings as well, and how to explain them to children and make them
more interesting. Lastly, implementing this project can likewise help the group
enhance their planning, negotiating, organizing, problem solving and relational
skills.
8. Methodologies. This part cites ALL the activities & strategies (in order) that should
be undertaken in order to achieve the objectives of project. It should describe the
general approach of the project, agency counterpart in case of partnership,
responsibilities and obligations, manpower requirement and the manner on how the
specific activity will be undertaken if the project calls for it. Example:

“(*this part is shortened to just two examples, as references)

In the implementation of the T.A.AL. Project, the following activities and strategies
will have to be undertaken:

1.) Coordination with the Target Evacuation Center – the member of the group who
resides in Brgy. Bodbod (Ms. Lustre) who also happens to be the public relations head is
assigned to conduct periodic coordination with key persons in the evacuation center to
ensure that conduct of the activities may push through as scheduled, and any
concerns prior to the implementation of the project be addressed immediately.

2.) Preparation of Catechetical Activities – as Project Director, it is the responsibility

of Mr. Anderson to assign all members of the group to the conduct of the four
catechetical sessions in the target locale. Members of the group are in charge of
preparing the lesson guides and all the necessary materials for the activities , which
include supplies during the storytelling and teaching sessions, all materials for the
enrichment activities and simple snacks or tokens for the participants.
3.) Consultation with their Education teachers – to ensure effectively meeting the
principles of education, members of the group will conduct short sit-down sessions
with their teachers from the Education department who will be asked to review and
to comment on the lesson guides they have prepared .

9. Detailed Budgetary Requirements. In preparation for the project, the budgetary

requirement of all activities must be considered. This part must list down in detail
