Kevin was once a child in conflict with the law (CICL). Today, he dreams of serving and protecting others as a law enforcer. Watch how Kevin’s story proves that if a CICL learns to take responsibility and be accountable with one’s action, change is possible.

This year, the BPA Biliran achieved the Level 3 Certificate of Accreditation, the highest level of accreditation for Local Government Unit (LGU) managed centers and residential care facilities from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). A level 3 upgrade was made possible through the assistance provided by the Support to Bahay Pag-Asa Project. The Support to BPA Project focuses on assisting BPAs in providing quality service for the children under their care, making them fully prepared for their reintegration into the community. Since 2022, the project provided subsidies for the BPA’s daily operational expenses, training for BPA staff and residents, and repair and maintenance of structures. As of December 2023, the project already assisted 108 BPA facilities with 2,359 residents. Dahil sa Bagong Pilipinas, Bawat Bata May Pag-asa!
