For 2007 and 2008: Our chosen advocacy is Tahanan ni Sta.
Lucia, a crisis intervention center for 12-17 abandoned,
neglected, or sexually/physically-abused street children.
Mission
To respond to the specific needs of these children and
most importantly, to help them start the inner healing
process so that they can rebuild their lives and live
normally and productively in the future.
Goal
The ultimate goal of the Center is to rehabilitate,
ensure and sustain the reintegration of young street
girls below 18 years old, as well as girls who have
been sexually abused or prostituted, with their families
if still possible, and to society in general.
Objectives
- To provide the street girls and sexually abused
children with temporary and therapeutic home atmosphere.
- To develop positive values and to enhance feelings
of self-respect and self esteem.
- To protect the street girls and sexually abused
girls from the dangers of the street and/or their
abusive environment.
- To provide each girl a better understanding of herself
and her family.
