Project SummaryA) Name of Project Tahanan ng Batang Lansangan . Tahanan ng Batang Lansangan in Filipino terms, means home for street children. The group chose this name since it clearly defines the project\u27s purpose which is to provide a shelter for children who are out in the streets.B) LocationThe project site is at 1148 United Nations Avenue Manila, left side of the main building of Asilo de San Vicente de Paul. Asilo has approximately 300 square meters of idle land, which is the chosen site of the home\u27s structure. The choice of such location stems from the availability of the land and Asilo\u27s willingness to allot the same to provide shelter for street children. Other reasons for the choice of location include the site\u27s convenience for the project\u27s beneficiaries coming from the streets of Metro Manila, an imminent advantage from the fact that Asilo runs a private school where the street children gathered can avail of good education, and the congregation, being the implementor, through the years, have had considerable experience in proceeding with an institution for less fortunate children.C) Descriptive definition of the project1) Related National Program.
