Food stamp program covers 300,000 more households
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is currently enrolling an additional 300,000 families into the "Walang Gutom" food stamp program for 2025.
This brings the total number of beneficiaries for this year to 600,000, completing the target for 2025.
The "Walang Gutom 2027" program aims to assist at least 750,000 food-poor families by 2027 by providing P3,000 in monthly aid.
The previous year saw 300,000 households in 10 regions and 22 provinces being served.
The funding for the newly enrolled beneficiaries is sourced from a loan agreement with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under the REFUEL Project.
