Marcellin Foundation - Philippines

Marcellin House was established as an urgent and concrete response to the growing number of street children in Gen. Santos City. These children learn to survive in the streets. More often than not, they are malnourished, unhealthy and exposed to the dangers inherent to street life. Many have prematurely lost their childhood and have been plunged mostly through no fault of their own, into the rough street culture of recklessness, where they can become victims of child exploitation or criminal activities.
