TESDA MIMAROPA successfully conducted an Outreach Program in Bahay Kanlungan, Brgy. Ilaya, Calapan City, as part of its commitment to promoting gender and development (GAD) initiatives. The activity was aligned with the celebration of Women’s Month and aimed to support and uplift the disadvantaged women and children residing at Bahay Kanlungan, a center dedicated to providing protective and rehabilitative services.

As part of the outreach, TESDA MIMAROPA provided a hearty dinner for the children, along with pastries made by TESDA Training Institutions as a delightful dessert. Basic necessities such as toiletries and daily essentials were also distributed to help ease the lives of the women and children in the center. The outreach was met with overwhelming gratitude, as the children expressed their joy and appreciation for the thoughtful donations. Although pictures of the children could not be shared due to confidentiality, their smiles and gratitude were a clear reflection of the success of the event.

The activity highlighted TESDA’s continued commitment to community outreach, particularly in supporting vulnerable sectors, and further emphasized the importance of empowering women and children in need. TESDA MIMAROPA is proud to have made a positive impact on the lives of the Bahay Kanlungan residents and looks forward to continuing such initiatives in the future.
