Transitional & Independent Living Program

In Philippines, government housing programs typically release youth from shelters upon completion of Grade 12 and/or upon reaching the age of 18. This transition often leaves these young individuals with limited option, forcing them to return to homes where they may be facing ongoing threats or abuse form their predators. In some cases, they resort to early marriage or unpaid work in an attempt to escape their circumstances, which can expose them to further exploitation and hardship.

Our Transitional and Independent Living program is designed to assist these youth in moving them from shelter life to independent living by facilitating access to employment opportunities. Skybridge has established partnership with several companies in Philippines to support their employment prospects. Additionally, we collaborate with government vocational institutions that works with large corporations to provide training for these young individuals. Upon completing their training, they often have the opportunity to become full-time employees of these companies, enabling them independence. Skybridge also provides support with their immediate needs, such as food and accommodation, until they secure full-time employment providing them the opportunity to live independently bridging them to build a better and brighter future.
