 To determine the situation of learners facing
difficult circumstances

INTRODUCTION
All children are not fortunate enough to
receive an environment which is conducive to
provide appropriate development
opportunities. The need to protect some
children is certainly greater than others due to
their specific socio-economic and political
circumstances and geographical location. They
are more vulnerable in terms of the risk to
their right to survival, development,
protection and participation. These are the
children in especially difficult circumstances.
LIVING IN REMOTE
PLACES

Children living in a
remote area experience
struggle because of the
physical distance they
need to travel just to
attend school.
VICTIMS OF WAR
Children are often
witnesses or victims of
violent hostilities and
may watch the
destruction of their
homes, schools and
communities. Displaced
and refugee children,
suffer the additional
traumas of being
uprooted from home
and resettled.
PRODUCTS OF
BROKEN FAMILY
The emotional stress of a
divorce alone can be
enough to stunt your
child’s academic progress,
but the lifestyle changes
and instability of a broken
family can contribute to
poor educational outcomes.
STREET CHILDREN/
CHILDREN FROM
IMPOVERISHED
FAMILY
Street children have to
fight for survival day
after day. From finding
food, looking for a safe
place to spend the night
to protecting
themselves against the
violence that constantly
threatens them, life is a
constant struggle.

STREET CHILDREN/ CHILDREN FROM
IMPOVERISHED FAMILY
Dennis Sumampong

His parents abondoned him and he subsequently fleeing his

abusive adoptive family in Margosatubig in Zamboanga del Sur
province, newsinfo.inquirer.net reported. As a result, he relied
on his money from begging and used it to support his addiction.

Fortunately, social workers from Akay Kalinga Center, a

Catholic Church-based Katilingban sa Kalambuan (Community
for Development) Inc., helped Dennis move on from addiction.

Surprisingly enough, the street kid is now a college graduate

with a bachelor’s degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management.
VICTIMS OF ABUSE

Child abuse can take

several forms like
physical, psychological
or emotional, sexual
abuse and neglect.
Humiliations, spankings
and beatings, slaps in
the face, etc. are all
considered as forms of
physical abuse of
children, because they
injure the integrity and
dignity of a child.
