About our work in The Philippines
SSHJM Cebu Mission
SSHJM's Cebu Mission operates a Special Education (SPED) Centre that supports 40 young adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities, offering alternative education, life skills, and livelihood training guided by individualised transition plans. Working closely with the Department of Education, the centre helps clients prepare for employment and links them with private sector partners for work experience as they progress. SSHJM also runs a Rehabilitation and Wellness Centre (RWC), providing inclusive health and rehabilitation services, such as physical and occupational therapy, to vulnerable children, older adults, and patients with complex conditions. Through outpatient care, home-based support, and community sensitisation, the RWC reaches more than 700 people each year.
