    Aiding the poorest. The Philippines: Children and Youth Foundation.

    Marozzi J.

    PIP: "Tuloy sa Don Bosco," one of the programs supported by the Children and Youth Foundation of the Philippines (CYFP), gives a number of Filipino street children the chance to escape a life of exploitation. The project covers 118 boys between the ages of 8 and 18 years, with a further 100 that arrive for their classes daily. These children come from a variety of problem backgrounds, including domestic violence and abuse. CYFP operates by identifying effective partners such as the "Tuloy sa Don Bosco" project, arranging funds, and enhancing the partner's capabilities to implement programs. In northern Luzon, CYFP supports projects dealing with child labor, prostitution, out-of-school girls, and entrepreneurial training. CYFP aims to place children and youth on the government agenda, international funding institutions, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations.
