 Direct observation – notes: ( Brief narrative description of the situation of children as directly observed during the visit)
During the assessment, it was observed that there was high level of poverty and hunger.
Aside the interview with the different sites to ascertain child protection concerns, the team made some observations
in the populace during the CPRA. They are:
 2 pregnant children
 2 children hawking (a boy and a girl)
 1 mentally challenged child (girl)
 1 physically challenged child (boy)
However, some of the perceived factors that contribute to protection concerns include:
 Poverty
 Negligence of responsibility on the parents and caregivers of the children
 Neglect on the community to properly handle child protection issues.
