Actual projects
Day care centre for 50 pre-school children living at home with their families.
For the Kaisahang Buhay Foundation (KBF) of the Philippines.
The location of the project is Barangay Duyan Duyan, which is a slum in Quezon City. In this district there is a permanent lack of economic means that leads to extreme poverty.
Parents who have work, often have to leave their small children alone at home without any care. There is no school, there are no hygienic measures and the kids are not fed the way children should be.
People living in this area, who feel responsible, have taken up contact with KBF to ask for support to start a day care centre.
KBF, being an organisation officially recognized by the government of the Philippines has been given the task of the management of several projects and programmes in these slums in Manila.
The children are in a better condition thanks to good care and nourishment. They learn how to behave with their peers and to treat adults with respect.
Furthermore they learn certain abilities that are necessary when going to school. They are offered a safe haven where there is no neglect nor abuse.
The parents will be involved in the programme and are instructed on healthy food and personal hygiene and are asked to contribute which increases their involvement.
Awareness is stimulated that changes for the better can be made and the parents can count on support on different issues, like small credits for income-generating initiatives.
