NATIONAL DISABILITY PREVENTION WEEK VISIT – JC Cares Foundation members visited Barangay Pillar Village in Las Piñas City recently to join the celebration of the 43rd National Disability Prevention & Rehabilitation Week.
The negative economic effects of the pandemic have affected the people for more than a year now. As the vaccination program rolled out across the country, many people went back to work or resumed their businesses to contribute to reviving the economy.
However, many people are still left without jobs or livelihood.
Among those hardest hit by the pandemic are the vendors with disabilities in Las Piñas City, many of them closing their small businesses because of the lockdowns and the restricted movement of people. These vendors, who rely on their livelihood to survive, have been severely affected by the pandemic.
