The initiative on the street families project is now on its 7th month of operations. It was able to provide relevant services to approximately 20 families based in district 5 in manila. These include: medical services by the resident nurse and those referred to nearby medical institutions for surgeries and other procedures. 20 out of school children are presently enrolled with the alternative learning system module by the department of education facilitators and 5 of whom took an equivalency test last nov. Results will be released by feb of next year to determine if they are eligible to be promoted to the next grade/year level.
The urban vegetable garden is now operational with the street families benefiting from free vegetables harvested and used as ingredients in their viands during lean days.
The project is now concentrating on how to make the street families more productive by identifying possible livelihood option for them.
