Children of the Canes

Another milestone of LVF’s work was the conduct of three “National Conferences for the Protection of Children in the Sugar Industry” in partnership with Winrock International and USDOL in with 2006; ILO-IPEC Manila, Global Fund for Children (USA) and Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in 2011; and, with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) in 2012. These conferences gathered more than 100 sugarcane planters/ owners, NGO workers, civil society groups and officials of the three branches of the government. LVF was designated as the lead agency to coordinate with the participants of this conference in view of ensuring child protection and development in the sugar industry.
