The PINASAMA (Parent Initiative for Social Awareness Mainstreaming Advocacy) is a community-based organisation providing day care and Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) services as an alternative education for children age 3-6 years old. Its history traces back to 1984, taking up the issue of access to child care and education, these women leaders researched, trained and mobilized for the installation of ECCD programs in urban poor villages in Quezon City (initially in Barangay Commonwealth and Batasan Hills). These local initiatives found to be very responsive to the needs of community women, thus it was replicated in thirteen (13) other communities, extending to the neighbouring barangays of Holy Spirit and Payatas.
Urban Poor Support for Collective Actions and Leadership of Women (UPSCALE)
The programme will increase the scale of the community initiatives of the PINASAMA community-based organisation and support them with grants, training and technical support to form a cooperative in order to provide essential services (e.g., day care centres, slum upgrades, income-generation activities, etc.) to more urban poor women in Quezon City—the largest city in Metro Manila, with approximately 3 million people.
