Know our Programs
SABLAYANIHAN CHILDREN'S NECESSITY BANK
It is Donate-2-Create SABLAYANIHAN’s flagship program, a space where donated children supplies are being stored and given for free to children in need.
Donated supplies are given to underprivileged children in times of emergency such as lost of personal belongings, lack of family income, crop loss and natural disasters.
Supplies consist of new and slightly- used clothing, hygiene and sanitary kits and school supplies ´. As these necessary items already available in the Necessity Bank, volunteers could immediately respond to children’s need affected by unfortunate events.
Donations are also used in feeding programs, relief operations, establishment of learning spaces and community projects involving children.
DISASTER RELIEF - RESPONDER INITIATIVE
Small children and young people from the most disadvantaged families suffer the most during and after disasters. They could lose their homes, and personal belongings , get sick and more exposed to danger. Since children’s basic necessities or supplies are readily -available in our Children’s Necessity Bank, we can immediately help children, families and communities affected by natural disasters and emergencies.
ECOLOGICAL LITERACY FOR KIDS
Lakbay-Kalikasan is our ecological literacy program designed to provide children with early introduction to environmental awareness. We believe that ecological education at an early age is very important. The knowledge that children acquire allow them to explore environmental issues, engage in problem-solving, and take action to improve the environment. This will in turn provides them as well as their families and communities with the building blocks they need to live eco-friendly and sustainable lives.
FEEDING PROGRAMS
We conduct feeding activities in different communities such as in Kindergarten, public primary schools , barangay communal areas, evacuation centers as well as in far-flung indigenous communities.
LIBRENG GUPIT PARA KAY LIIT - FREE HAIRCUT PROGRAMS
With the help of volunteers , barbers and hair cutters, community officials and barangay health workers, we conduct free hair cut activities for children ages 3 – 13 years old. This is a part of hygiene and sanitation initiative.
MANGYAN COMMUNITIES INITIATIVES
Most Mangyan communities have been displaced by increasing armed conflicts between military and rebels, environmental laws and land disputes as well as effects of climate change.
Whether located on the mountain or near the town proper, volunteers visit Mangyan communities ( indigenous people of Sablayan ) in the municipality to deliver feeding services, relief and educational assistance to young children and their families.
SABLAYANIHAN BARANGAY SUPPORT
In cooperation with local government of Sablayan and community officials, we also conduct environmental and communal activities such as tree planting , giving support in times of crisis such as COVID epidemic and participation in other community activities
SCHOOL SUPPLIES DISTRIBUTION
We distribute school supplies packs to indigent children in rural areas, urban poor, children of indigenous communities and students of Alternative Learning School (ALS) . These supplies help families ease some of their financial burden especially in times of crop loss and loss of personal belongings due to calamities and unfortunate events such as house fire.
SLIPPERS OF HOPE
Slippers are a necessity for children. They are more practical , affordable for parents, suited for the hot and rainy weather , and good alternative if shoes are not available and relatively unaffordable. Though slippers are less expensive, some poor families cannot afford to replace torn pairs of slippers which can lower children’ confidence, expose their feet to dirt and increase risk of being hurt.
