HUNDREDS of sexually abused and traumatized Filipino children have been rescued and saved by social workers of the Preda Foundation, working closely with the Philippines' Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Department of Education (DepEd). As a result, dozens of sexually abused and trafficked children are referred to the Preda Victoria Children's Home every year by government social workers. Preda social workers welcome the many children and, with international partners, provide the children with all their personal needs, therapy, care, affirmation, healing, emotional empowerment and legal assistance to bring complaints against their abusers. The Preda home is in a beautiful location surrounded by forest in the Subic countryside.
