Program SOLo launched to strengthen assistance for solo parents — DSWD
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is bolstering its support for solo parent-headed families through Program SOLo (Strengthening Opportunities for Lone Parents).
This program aims to empower these families by providing not only economic aid but also comprehensive, technology-assisted psychosocial support.
Program SOLo complements Republic Act No. 11861, also known as the Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act, and is designed to address the daily challenges faced by single parents.
The primary target beneficiaries are solo parent-headed families with two to three children under 22 years old, particularly those residing in close proximity.
The initiative focuses on promoting transformation for these families to achieve a secure, comfortable, and strongly rooted life.
The DSWD's goal is to ensure solo parents can not only survive but thrive, enabling them to fulfill their parental roles effectively despite facing numerous problems and challenges.
