Dear Mrs. Hernando,

Proposal for Lighthouse Sanctuary (Parola Santuwaryo) Shelter in Kalinga in Partnership with IAT

The International Association for Transformation (IAT - Philippines) is pleased to submit a proposal
for the partnership with your organization, Parola Santuwaryo Inc., in setting up a children’s shelter
in Kalinga.

1.0 PARTNERSHIP OBJECTIVES

The main purpose of the partnership is to merge and enhance the visions of Parola Santuwaryo Inc.
(Parola) with IAT with the following objectives:

1. Build a shelter in Kalinga that will provide professional rehabilitation services and serve as a
healing sanctuary for survivors of sexual abuse and sex trafficking in the Cordillera
Administrative Region and even in the Cagayan Valley Region.
2. Transition survivors from a rehabilitation program to an educational scholarship program.
3. Empower graduate survivors to become independent members of society by helping them
transition into the corporate world or reintegrate back into family life and society.

2.0 INITIAL PHASES

FIRST PHASE
To commence the partnership, the two organisations may start with transitioning child survivors
from the rehabilitation program in Laoag to an educational sponsorship program in Kalinga.
Consultations must be done with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and
the local government units (LGU).
For the child survivors in Laoag to continue their healing, they may be transferred to the IAT
dormitory in Tabuk City and gradually get reintegrated in society by being associated with IAT
scholars while pursuing their education through IAT’s educational scholarship program. This will
keep the survivors from returning to the community where they experience abuse, and be
transitioned to a program that will improve their overall well-being where they will be equipped
with education, develop skills to become self-sufficient and return to their family or community, or
even find employment after they finish their studies.

SECOND PHASE
The second phase shall start as soon as remodeling or renovation of the proposed temporary shelter
in Kalinga begins. IAT shall send 1 or 2 social workers from Kalinga to Laoag for intensive training at
the shelter of Parola for 3 to 6 months for the social workers to adopt the culture of Parola and be
confident in applying the healing programs to the shelter in Kalinga.

THIRD PHASE
Once IAT starts taking in survivors in the shelter in Kalinga, the rehabilitation program of Parola shall
be fully implemented. The shelter in Kalinga shall carry the name of Parola while the funding will be
coming from IAT.

3.0 PROPOSED SHELTER

TEMPORARY SHELTER
It is proposed that the current 8-classroom school building of IAT be transformed into a temporary
shelter for survivors based in Kalinga and Apayao. Suggestions for improvement on the planned
temporary shelter will be sought from the local and regional DSWD regarding the following plans for
the conversion of the school building:

 Two (2) rooms will be remodeled into bedrooms that may cater a maximum of six (6)
children per room
 One (1) room will be remodeled into the bedroom of the house parents and social workers
 One (1) room will be converted into the kitchen and dining space
 One (1) room will be dedicated for the group and individual rehabilitation sessions
 One (1) room will be converted into an activity room for their spiritual, emotional, and
physical growth

When found necessary, walls surrounding the temporary shelter will be raised and another wall
shall be built to enclose and isolate the temporary shelter for survivors to be protected from
influences that may affect their rehabilitation and healing.

PERMANENT SHELTER
With approval from DSWD and LGU and adhering to space requirements and standard provisions, a
permanent 2-storey shelter will be built within the compound of IAT in Tabuk City.

The proposed initial location of the permanent shelter will be at the southern boundary of the
property which is currently the playground. The figure below shows the proposed locations.
