Bahay Bulilit (House for Little Ones)
Philippines
The Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Philippines takes on
"Bahay Bulilit" as a cornerstone program. It's a long-term
commitment of RMHC, dedicated 'to lift kids to a better tomorrow,
to build day care centers in deserving communities all over the
Philippines.
The program is being undertaken in partnership with other sectors,
namely: The national government through the Department of Social
Welfare and Development providing the public land, setting the guidelines
for day care center operations and overseeing proper service delivery;
the local government supplying the operating expenses including
providing the day care center workers; and, the community (barangay)
attending to the upkeep and maintenance of the structure and facilities
plus helping the daycare center workers take care of the children.
"BAHAY Bulilit" daycare centers aim to help working
parents who do not have enough money to pay for babysitters or send
their children to pre-school. RMHC "BAHAY Bulilit" daycare
centers will provide assured quality care, proper value formation
and play & study activities for children under six years old
to prepare them for formal schooling or Grade 1.
The first RMHC "BAHAY Bulilit" (House for the Little
Ones) Day Care Center is along C-5, Barangay East Rembo, Makati
City, and was inaugurated last November 20, 2002. Another, 2nd RMHC
BAHAY Bulilit day care center, will soon open in Martinez St. (9
de Pebrero), beside Hardin ng Pagasa, Barangay Addition Hills, Mandaluyong
City. More Bahay Bulilit's are firmly set and is underway for this
year.
Company Description
McDonald's is the largest and best-known global foodservice retailer
with more than 30,000 restaurants in 121 countries. Yet on any day,
even as the market leader, McDonald's serves less than one percent
of the world's population. The company's outstanding brand recognition,
experienced management, high-quality food, site development expertise,
advanced operational systems and unique global infrastructure position
it to capitalize on global opportunities. McDonald's plans to expand
its leadership position through great tasting food, superior service,
everyday value and convenience.
Social responsibility is a way of thinking, caring, and responding
to a multitude of complex community, environmental, and people issues
and circumstances. With this in mind, McDonald's goal is to utilize
and leverage every opportunity to advance the level of awareness
and depth of understanding of various social responsibility issues,
policies, and practices within the company's system.
