Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)
The Pantawid Pamilya is a human development program of the national government that invests in the health and education of poor households, particularly of children aged 0-18 years old. It provides cash grants to beneficiaries provided that they comply with the set of conditions required by the program. The program aims to break the cycle of poverty by keeping children aged 0-18 healthy and in school, so they can have a better future. It is implented by DSWD with Department of Health (DOH), Department of Education (DepEd), and NEDA as partners.
