2 Dear Friends,
It is again my great privilege to share with you all the outstanding year Bahay Tuluyan has had and our progress towards achieving our dream of a world where every child’s rights are respected, protected and fulfilled.
This report details our new strategic plan for 2018-2020, provides a snapshot as well as an in depth look at the projects we are working on and aims to inform you of our current advocacy causes, encouraging all of us to support and work together for a better world.
As Bahay Tuluyan’s primary work is on the fulfillment of children’s rights, in this politically difficult times when human rights and human rights advocates in the Philippines are deemed the enemy of the state, the work of Bahay Tuluyan has never been more challenging and very important. We as advocates have been steadfast in our belief to carry the principles enshrined in our work.
I want to sincerely thank all the children and youth who have inspired us to work with them and for them, to all the staff, board members and all the donors and funders who have been generously supporting the dreams and inspirations of BT. 31 years of Bahay Tuluyan has been such a great blessing and a humbling experience to be part of a great organization!
Lily V. Flordelis, DMD Executive Director

ALFRED, AGE 18
I have been with Bahay Tuluyan for 3 months.
Before coming here, I was a young person struggling to reach my dreams. I have been inspired here at Bahay Tuluyan to achieve anything I set my mind to.
I work in the Makabata Guesthouse and Café where I am undertaking training to develop my skills and knowledge to become independent.
I am hoping to finish my studies and go to University.
MAY-MAY, AGE 15
Bahay Tuluyan helps children. When our parents can’t care for us, Bahay Tuluyan is there to care and look after us.
The happiest I am in Bahay Tuluyan is when I participate in activities that I don’t experience before, like JE (Junior Educators) and summer camp. I like it because I get closer to my friends here in BT.
YAN YAN, AGE 12
Bahay Tuluyan is like a superhero. It helped me by giving me rights that I didn’t enjoy in the streets like being able to go to school and being loved by a parent and being taken care of.
