Every weekend, LYF partners with Philippine Teen Challenge Inc. to provide a deeper kind of support to the girls in our care, one that goes beyond food packs and necessities. While the groceries help meet their physical needs, the true heart of this partnership is the emotional, spiritual, and personal growth guidance the girls receive each week.
At PTC’s weekend gatherings, the girls participate in praise and worship, where they are reminded that they are valued, seen, and supported. These moments help strengthen their faith, restore their confidence, and give them a sense of belonging. The atmosphere is warm, uplifting, and safe, something many of them have not consistently experienced in their daily lives.
Alongside worship, the girls also take part in counseling and mentoring sessions led by PTC staff. These conversations focus on building resilience, addressing personal struggles, understanding their identity, and guiding them toward healthier decisions and brighter futures. The counseling is gentle but impactful, helping the girls process challenges while developing emotional stability and self-worth.
For many of them, these weekly sessions have become an anchor, a consistent place where they feel guided, cared for, and supported both spiritually and emotionally. Each session equips them with tools to grow in character, faith, and direction, complementing the practical support LYF provides through education assistance and weekly allowances.
Our partnership with PTC continues to build strong foundations in the girls’ lives, combining physical support with spiritual guidance, emotional healing, and positive mentorship. This holistic approach to body, mind, and spirit helps the girls feel empowered, loved, and ready to pursue a brighter future.
