250 children
17 homes

Thousands of children are staying in the street without any link with their families.
There are
thousands of children living in the streets of
Manila
who have broken all bonds with their families.
Victims of violence and of drugs, they survive by
begging, by stealing, by prostitution… living
totally in the margins of
society.
Tulay ng Kabataan gives them a complete structure that supports their personal and human rehabilitation:
• Drop-in centers for boys and girls fetched directly from the streets.
• Bridge classes to give them an informal education including artistic and tutorial activities in order to help them being more stable.
• Residential homes for boys and girls (centers for girls) who cannot be reconciled with their family. They are then enrolled in formal schools.
• Homes for the mentally handicapped special street children.
• Vocational training and Boarding homes for the older street boys who cannot go back to school.
