DROP-INN CENTER
The Drop-In Shelter's objective is to keep
families and children off the street and
encourage them to start life anew.
The Center serves as a
temporary shelter for “kariton”
families and street children living within
the vicinity of SPU Manila and along the
streets of Manila. Children are fed, bathed
and taken cared of while adults cook their
food, do the laundry and attend to personal
needs. The Center provides “napping
rooms” where residents can sleep during
the day as they build strength for another
night of work scavenging or eking out a
living from the streets . Children and adults
are also provided with non-formal education
such as basic reading, writing, arts and
numbers. Regular medical check-ups are provided
to all. Health and hygiene classes are also
conducted.
To date, the Center has
already rehabilitated more than 62 families
of over 300 individuals. They are now back
to their places of origin and, through the
micro-financing granted them by the Center,
are earning a decent livelihood. Most of
the families returned to places such as
Samar, Boracay, Tarlac, Mindoro, Cavite
and Laguna while some were hired as employees
of SPU Manila associates and benefactors.
