GREETINGS!
The Save Our Street Children Foundation Inc. (SOSCFI) is a non-stock, non-profit
service oriented non-government organization that was formed in the late eighties by a small group of civic minded
individuals.
It started with a program that provided a soup kitchen to
address the nutrition problem of the city's working children at the public market.
In April of 1993, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus or
MSCs, began to collaborate with the SOSCFI. At that time, the primary purpose of SOSCFI was to prevent high-risk children
from becoming street peddlers. SOSCFI began to offer non-formal education, tutorial and educational assistance.
With the involvement of the MSCs, the organization began to initiate programs
for parents including spiritual enhancement, skills training, health and parenting with the hope of expanding the focus of
SOSCFI from children to families.
Today, SOSCFI caters to about two hundred members that include parents,
student-scholars, minors and jail inmates. It has become a family oriented organization with programs that
have grown and expanded to meet the needs of working and indigent children, as well as low-income families
