In partnership with government and non-government organizations, HOPE Worldwide Philippines provides residential and treatment facilities for abused children in Laguna, mobile advocacy programs, and disaster, risk reduction and emergency response programs in disaster-prone communities.
“We don’t want them to stay here for long, we aim to work out the familial relationship of the abused children and reunite them with their relatives. If all else fails, we bring them to our Independent Living Program wherein we provide education and transfer them to a community to learn independence and develop their character and skills,” Velasco added.
HOPE worldwide Philippines is licensed, registered, and accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC), and National Council for Social Development (NCSD).
