Spirit.

miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in
power and glory.
■ We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit
is absolutely essential.
■ We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is
enabled to live a Godly life.
■ We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; that they are saved unto the
resurrection of life and they are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

 POVERTY
• NOT JUST economic and physical, it is also a spiritual emptiness and
brokenness.
• Hunger, a common manifestation of poverty, is both an effect and a cause
of poverty.

Why kids need to eat well…

• What kids eat today shapes how they’ll eat for the rest of their lives.
• Too many children aren’t getting enough of the right foods to eat – and
too little of the foods that help keep them healthy.
• When children eat better, they do better – they’re in better shape to reach
their full potential.
• Eating good food is one of life’s real pleasures: every child should know
how it feels to enjoy a tasty meal with people you love.
 VISION
To see the most vulnerable free from
material and spiritual poverty.

MISSION
To serve and empower the vulnerable to build thriving
communities, through nutrition-centered and
nutrition-sensitive children’s feeding initiatives, community
outreaches, and disaster response.

the Brgy. Committee Chairperson for the Brgy Commiittee on Women & Children’s
Protection & Welfare; Agriculture; Brgy Health and Nutrition Advocates (employees)

4. Children: Supreme Pupil Government Officers
YES! THE CHILDREN ARE PART OF THE
CONVERSATION.
 PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION PARTNERS:
WHAT ARE THEIR COMMITMENTS?

1. Daily Feeding. COHP, in late 2017, has shifted towards implementing a

nutrition-centered children's feeding program. We expect partners to feed for no less
than 5 days each week, for 200 days each year, or for the entire school year.

2. The Caloric Requirement. The Partner can expect to receive COHP's in-kind grant
that consists of fortified rice mix packs, which we expect the Partner to prepare using
COHP's recommended nutrition-centered recipes that were developed around the
food grant that we give.

3. Unserved and Underserved Areas. We prioritize public elementary schools that

are located in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDA) where the
percentage of malnourished children is in the double digit.

4. Supply Withdrawal. The Partner will be responsible for the cost of moving the
stocks from our warehouse in Marilao, Bulacan. At the moment, we do not have the
capacity to deliver the stocks to the Program Center.
