Most of these children live in the dumpsite of Payatas, here they learn more about life and a new future they can have.
Window of Hope – A boy stands on the drainage pipe looking into his home. They received an evacuation notice from the local government to leave their homes in a few months. They will be paid about 50,000 pesos ($1140) to start a new home elsewhere.
