Due to their previous socio-economic conditions, most beneficiaries under Virlanie’s care had
inadequate nourishment, medical, oral, and therapeutic healthcare prior to their admission.

Furthermore, they were also vulnerable to developmental delays and/or psychological problems.

Approximately 70% of these beneficiaries faced mental and emotional challenges due to past
traumatic experiences of abuse and/or neglect. Thus, the foundation’s Health Services aims to
sustain the beneficiaries’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being in preparation for their
integration to society.

Louise, Health Services Beneficiary

Louise is one of the cheerful, playful toddlers at Babies & Toddlers Home. On playtime afternoons, one will easily take notice of her because of her playfulness and her right arm. Due to an accident when she was younger, doctors had to amputate her right arm. She was then referred to Virlanie after being discharged from the hospital as her mother was nowhere to be found.

When she arrived, Louise was reclusive and frail, unable to walk at the age of one year and two months, and undernourished. Together with Virlanie’s medical team, BTH’s social workers created a program to improve her nutrition. In the time when she was given fortified and formula milk, her nutrition status normalized, and she had gained weight. Later, when her right arm fully healed, she learned how to use her right stump for play and other activities.

Because of the health services provided by Virlanie, Louise developed and grew into a social, happy, and healthy toddler who likes to play and build structures with toy building blocks.
