Fifty-five child caregivers in Pasacao received livelihood assistance through RTS Pasacao 2.0, helping them establish or expand small enterprises that can provide more stable income for their families. By integrating livelihood support with maternal and child health interventions, the program empowers families to improve child nutrition, strengthen resilience, and build more sustainable futures.

For Maria Carmela “Mela” Andaya, caregiving began long before she entered the classroom. As a single mother of three, years of sacrifice, resilience, and unconditional love prepared her for a new purpose. Through the Medical Scholarship Program of Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc. (PSFI) and Bloomberry Cultural Foundation, Inc. (BCFI), Mela transformed an answered prayer into a pathway toward a brighter future for her family while inspiring other mothers to never give up on their dreams.

Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc. (PSFI) and San Isidro Solar Power Corp.
