DIFFICULTIES OF THE NETWORK
1. Children’s future at risk
Placement from residential centers –lack of local families to
accommodate children who stayed in the center for temporary
shelter
Broken Families, some of the families have no source of living
Lack of formation, and values
2. Lack of Funds
Civil Society is dying due to distribution of funds to LGUs
and Ngos/division of funds sources
International has priority concern (WAR)
Local counterparts are not that active
Short term assistance
3. Commitment and Participation of the members (Free Service)
4. Problem/Actual Situation of Street Families in the cities
covered by the network, the alarming issues and concern affecting
children’s future and families situation.
5. Limited services and scope of NGOs and government in
responding to the problems
6. Ideas from schools, Churches and business sectors in solving
the problems are not that collective and high. These different
sectors must also look deeper and work out strategic approaches
in responding the growing population of street families and urban
settlers.
7. Innovations that must be used by the network must be
developed with holistic participation and involvement in order to
address the problem.
