There are 200,000* street children in the Philippines today.
They are walking time bombs... constantly exposed to the dangers and temptations of the streets and often falling prey to its lures.
 Substance abuse...
Easy money through petty crimes, prostitution, drug syndicates...
Chances are the street child grows up to become a criminal, as he is schooled in the harsh realities of street life.
Walang kinabukasan sa kalye. The streets do not offer any prospects of a bright future.
This is the cold hard fact that street children have to live with. The child´s chances of going to school, developing into a healthy and happy person, nurturing relationships with family and friends, and growing up as a responsible adult diminish as he continues his exploits in the streets.
Tuloy offers street children an alternative. HOPE. Pag-asa!
Since 1993, Tuloy has catered to over 4000 poor and abandoned youth. Caring for street urchins and out-of-school youth, Tuloy has fed, clothe, sheltered, healed, and educated hundreds of street children. Since 1997, it has provided free education and training to hundreds of poor kids who could not afford to study elsewhere, producing 245 graduates in Vocational Technology in the last six years. Some of its graduates are already technicians and supervisors in various companies in industry, proving that when given the chance these kids can live decently and even contribute to the welfare of society.
It is possible to change and dream again. There is life after the streets...
