The Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) Supplementary Feeding Program (SFP) has reached over 1.5 million children nationwide for the school year 2023-2024, benefiting children enrolled in Child Development Centers (CDCs) and Supervised Neighborhood Play (SNP) in 1,169 implementing local government units (LGUs).
As part of the government’s Early Childhood Care and Development program and the Masustansyang Pagkain para sa Batang Pilipino Act, the DSWD is committed to strengthening the feeding program and enhancing nutrition and health education for children, parents, and caregivers.
The DSWD, as the head of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Zero Hunger, will continue to support the government’s efforts to achieve zero hunger in the country, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with national agencies, LGUs, and development partners to realize the vision of a hunger-free Philippines.
