Clientele
Mater Orphanorums’ mandate is to help the disadvantaged children of the community. These children are known to be either orphaned, abandoned, sold, impoverished and physically, mentally or sexually abused. Every child in need would be cared for subject to the guidelines as laid down by the Department of Social Welfare and Development in the Philippines.
Geographical Coverage of Operation
The City of San Jose del Monte, Province of Bulacan, is the home of Mater Orphanorum and Ateneo Casa Famiglia. It has been a relocation area for the past four decades. The majority of the population were migrant residents from the slum and depressed areas of Metro Manila and other places of the country. The government relocated them to several resettlement areas in San Jose del Monte. Today, they account for more than two thirds of the population and occupy 47 out of 51 Barangays of the City. There are about 770,000 poor families living within the city boundaries of San Jose del Monte.
The City holds the biggest resettlement area in the Philippines. The growth index of the population is abnormally high compared to the rest of the country. With this perspective in mind, one could visualize the situation where there is an abundance of potential manpower within an area but unfortunately no industry or means of employment.
The unavailability of jobs and growing poverty nurtures a lot of social problems that eventually affects the whole of the community. The principle of cause and effect classically describes the present situation of most of the poor families of the city. The degeneration of the social fabric ultimately disintegrates the family as the basic social unit of our community which results in low moral values that cause unwanted pregnancies, unprepared early marriages, broken families, vices, drug addiction, alcoholism and criminality.
Today, there are a lot of displaced families dispersed all over the city who have not escaped the stigma of their past and whose economic status remains below the subsitence level and these are the target location and clienteles of the incorporations.
Mater Orphanorum and Ateneo Casa Famiglia do not recognize geopolitical boundaries nor do they practice discrimination based on religious beliefs or denomination.
