Solo parents get boost from DSWD, DMW
Manila Bulletin
|April 28, 2025
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has reinforced its support for solo parent-headed families through the launch of the Program SOLo, or the Strengthening Opportunities for Lone Parents, an official said on Saturday, April 26.
DSWD spokesperson Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao said the program was designed to complement Republic Act (RA) No. 11861 or the Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act, and aims to empower solo parents through economic assistance and holistic, technology-aided psychosocial support.
“The Program SOLo is crafted with the realities of solo parents in mind—acknowledging the daily challenges they face while raising children single-handedly,” Dumlao said in a statement.
According to Dumlao, the program primarily targets solo parent-headed families with two to three children below 22 years old, especially those living in close proximity to each other.
