ABSTRACT
Our proposal aims to address the severe condition of the out of school
youth and street children in our society. We acknowledge the necessity to
address this problem immediately. Different interventions must be provided
among streets children who have always been deprived of their basic
necessities and whose main concerns have always been their survival and
protection, considering most of them are abandoned, neglected, and abused,
even by their own families. We are going to implement a program that will
provide an opportunity for the less privilege street children to improve their
current condition and to have a better future. By providing them basic
necessities such as; educational assistance, health services, and further supports
through referral from different government agencies, In exchange for their
service in the community. These are necessary to develop them to become
responsible youth and eventually become productive citizens of the country.
STATEMENT OF THE NEED
The issue that our group is addressing is juvenile delinquency. As we all
knew, poverty is rampant in our society nowadays. Wherever we go and as we
observe our surroundings, we can see so many children loitering around
begging in the streets for food, doing illegal stuffs and other things to survive.

Based on the 2017 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS), about nine percent
of the estimated 39.2 million Filipinos aged 6 to 24 years old were out-of-school
children and youth (OSCY). OSCY refers to family members 6 to 14 years old who
are not attending formal school; and family members 15 to 24 years old who are
currently out of school, not gainfully employed, and have not finished college or
post-secondary course.
Of the 3.6 million OSCYs, 83.1%0 were 16 to 24 years old, 11.2% percent were 12
to 15 years old and 5.7% were 6 to 11 years old. The proportion of OSCYs was
higher among females (63.3%) than males (36.7%)
Through Giving H.O.P.E , the Outreach /Education for the Street children,
the street children are assisted through protection from abuse, and basic
education to develop knowledge about their rights and responsibilities and the
risks encountered on the streets, to develop positive behavior, gain/improve
their life skills and capacities through psycho-social interventions including
counseling to assist them to leave the streets through referral to recovery centers
or to relatives who are not the child’s abusers. In so doing, our group has
advocated and established, maintained and strengthened partnerships with
other groups, individuals, agencies and other sectors of society. With its multi-

problems and complexities, effectively addressing the street children’s needs
requires concerted efforts from everyone.
The people in our chosen Barangay will benefit in this kind of proposal. Even
though we are just students, maybe our plan may work on the Barangay that
we chose and may be also use by other Barangays in their community. Poor
coordination and integration between national and local levels of government
has also resulted in fragmented and ineffective services. This has been
exacerbated by the decentralised governance structure in the Philippines.
PROJECT ACTIVITY, METHODOLOGY AND OUTCOMES
Project Activity
Our group choose to address the issue in the manner of having an assembly
for Its implementation and finding different organization or group. First, we will
find people or individual who might help us complete the process and who will
be there to support and fund us. Second, we will conduct a Barangay assembly
to Barangay citizens about the program for them to be informed. It is truly
undeniable that there are lot of existing Non-Government Organizations (NGOs)
who continuously help and have an advocacy within marginalized sector in our
society. Our group decided to have this kind of solution for people to realize that

they should not just depend in the help of other sectors. Our group will assist
these young, promising less privilege to tell them that they have their potential to
be the best that they can be. To inspire them on what life has to offer once they
start realizing how their good actions can lead them to victory and success in
life.
There are other approaches that are appropriate to the situation like having
a feeding program or outreach program. But aside from the fact that it is
previously utilized and used in our society, it is also a temporary solution for
people in the Barangay. What we’re aiming for is a possible long term and
concrete solution to the problem. We are not just giving away what they
needed, we provide for them but they have to earn it. Our group believes in the
saying “Give a hungry man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, but teach him how to
fish and he’ll eat forever” Maybe it can satisfy their physiological needs for just
an hour, but our group make sure that the solution will be permanent and will
bring realizations and changes unto their lives.
