SCJ Philippine District

Kasanag Daughters Foundation or KDF is an institution providing a shelter and professional assistance to the young girls, victims of sexual abuse. It is managed by the SCJ Community of Cagayan de Oro. At the moment there are 20 girls recovering from their traumatic experience in the past. Recently, through the efforts of Fr. Rino Venturin, scj, the program coordinator, and with the help of some benefactors from Italy, the facilities of KDF have expanded by a new building. It provides an additional space for counseling and meetings. The blessing of the new building took place on September 4, 2004 and was led by Fr. Eduardo Aguero, scj, the founder of Kasanag.
