DSWD extends livelihood aid to family of robbed young pandesal vendor
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is now processing the provision of P10,000 livelihood assistance to the family of the 11-year old pandesal vendor who was robbed of his P200 earnings by still unidentified man in Caloocan City last week.
“The assistance will be released within the week to enable the family to start their own livelihood project so that the boy will no longer have to sell pandesal,” DSWD Secretary Coarazon Juliano-Soliman said.
The mother of the young boy said that they we will use the livelihood assistance to put up a burger, fishball, kikiam, and squidball business in front of their house.
Earlier, when DSWD learned about the incident, a social worker immediately went to his house to provide psycho-social to the child to help him cope with the traumatic experience.
DSWD also provided the family with food packs and P2,000 initial financial assistance.
Sec. Soliman also disclosed that his family has been a Pantawid Pamilya beneficiary since 2013, receiving cash grants from the government.
The Caloocan City government also offered assistance and will help to pursue the case against the perpetrator. ### - See more at: http://www.dswd.gov.ph/2014/10/dswd-extends-livelihood-aid-to-family-of-robbed-young-pandesal-vendor/#sthash.cDRoGTGc.dpuf
