Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and dream, regardless of the circumstances they face. Today, we celebrate a meaningful milestone as 13 dependents of women victim-survivors sheltered at Home for Women Region IX have been successfully enrolled in school, ensuring that their right to education is upheld and protected.

Many of these children have experienced instability and challenges at a young age, yet their stories do not end with adversity. Through the collective efforts of social workers, schools, and dedicated house parents, doors to education have been opened, giving them a chance to build a better future.

At Home for Women Region IX, we firmly believe that a child's situation should never become a barrier to learning. Education is more than attending classes—it is a pathway to hope, empowerment, healing, and opportunity. By ensuring that these children continue their schooling, we are helping them reclaim a sense of normalcy, nurture their potential, and dream beyond their present circumstances.

This achievement reflects our commitment to fulfilling the rights of every child and ensuring that no child is left behind. As these young learners begin a new academic journey, we stand with them, encouraging them to persevere, discover their strengths, and believe in the possibilities that lie ahead.

Because every child deserves not only protection and care, but also the chance to learn, thrive, and succeed.

More than a shelter, the Home for Women is a place of safety, healing, and new beginnings.

A glimpse of our facility, services, and dedicated staff committed to providing protection, care, and opportunities for recovery and growth.

Together, we continue to create a safe and supportive environment for every client we serve.

The Home for Women successfully conducted its Community Outreach Activity on May 14, 2026, at Barangay Vitali, Zamboanga City as part of its continuing advocacy to protect, empower, and support women victim-survivors of violence, abuse, and exploitation.
The activity aimed to extend the center’s programs and services directly to the community and provide immediate assistance and interventions to women in need. Through the collaborative efforts of the Barangay Council of Vitali, the VAWC Desk, CSWDO Field Office 7, 4Ps City Links and the Home for Women staff .

The outreach included:
• Orientation on the Programs and Services of the Home for Women
• Advocacy Session on Women’s Rights and Anti-VAWC Laws
• Provision of Basic Welfare Services such as hygiene kits, clothing, food packs, and essential items
• Medical and Health Services including basic consultation and health awareness
• Psychological and Psychosocial Services such as counseling, assessment, and referrals
• Training Needs Assessment for possible livelihood and skills training opportunities

A total of 10 women victim-survivors from the community benefited from the activity.

The Home for Women extends its sincere appreciation to the Barangay Officials, VAWC Desk Officers, CSWDO Field Office 7, and 4Ps staff for their continued support in promoting safe, inclusive, and empowered communities for all.
