Accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), it gives refuge to children of unwed mothers, indigent families, tuberculosis patients, mentally or physically-incapacitated parents, prisoners, or victims of incest or rape.[1] These children are provided with medical assistance, educational care, and financial support to help them in their early years.[2]
