Hapag-Asa being initiated by the Catholic Church, reaches out to children in need, regardless of religious affinity and cultural beliefs.
Hapag-Asa engages all possible stakeholders from various groups including the Civil Society, People’s Organization, Government, Churches and Private Organizations among others, and most importantly, the parents of the children enrolled.
While addressing the urgent need to provide food for the undernourished child, the program ensures that other needs of the child are also addressed through other program components and values formation.
Sustainability is underscored in the program which makes the ownership and participation of the parents in the program important, as well as their empowerment through the Self Help Group Approach (SHA).
Partners are encouraged to integrate the program into their existing structure to maximize available resources and processes while reaching out to more children in need.
Hapag-Asa is adaptive and sensitive in a way that it takes into consideration local systems including cultures not prescribing a rigid process.
