PROJECT PROPOSAL
INTRODUCTION: The Convention on the Rights of the Child had come up with the universally accepted minimum standards in promoting the well-being of children. These range from the most basic right of survival, the protection from neglect and abuse, and freedom to participate in the cultural, moral and spiritual pursuits both as individuals and organized communities. Unfortunately, the complex problems covering the poor economic situation in the family, degradation of the environment which affected their growth and the lack of access to some rudimentary knowledge, skills and resources to ensure their survival are some of the obstacles in fulfilling these basic rights. Moreover, the starting point of any national development strategy must tart with the promotion of the total human development of children. It is after all the children of today whose individual well-being and social contribution that will shape future of these young heroes. But how many thousands of children are deprived of their capacity to dream of a better life because we have snatched from them their future. Overcoming the various problems that confront these children is therefore essential for their survival, development and protection. PROJECT RATIONALE Children are innocent, vulnerable and dependent. They are curious, active and full of hope. Their time should be of joy and peace, of playing, learning and growing. Their life should enrich as they broaden their perspective and gain new experiences. Particular to the poor children living in the depressed areas of the 6th District of Manila, poverty limits much of their chances to discover their worth and potentials as future pillars of the country. These glaring realities are cause of alarm specifically for parents who know that something must be done to alleviate the childrens condition. Vital to their early development are child welfare programs that provide venues and mechanisms for nurturing their potentials and a chance to discover their identity and worth in a safe supportive environment.

The idea of putting up a Feeding Program is a welcome relief. The enthusiasm was really overwhelming for the parents. This was a general feeling too of Ina ng Bayan sa Sais Volunteers who had committed themselves in putting up a child development program in their place, run and managed by them in the area.
