We will provide emergency food packs comprising rice, dried fish, noodles, legumes, powdered milk, sugar, salt and canned sardines to very poor farmers affected by severe drought caused by El Nino, the strongest calamity so far. We will reach-out to those living in remote mountains in the Philippines were WAND Foundation has presence. This situation is of urgent concern because there is no harvest due to lack of rain and families are experiencing hunger and severe malnutrition.
The El Nino is causing severe drought in some parts of the Philippines and small farmers depending on corn and rice as staple is now facing starvation and malnutrition as there is no harvest that they can get. There is a need for emergency food aid so that farmers will be able to survive until they are able to grow their crops again. Aside from food, they urgently need water containers in order to store water fetch from creeks and springs.
The project will provide emergency food aid comprising rice, noodles, salt, dried fish, mongo, powdered milk and sugar to those severely affected by drought. Aside from food items we will provide water containers, water purification as well as vegetable seeds wherein they are able to grow small garden patches.
Well-being of very vulnerable families needs to be protected during this trying time. The impact of El Nino to their nutrition and food supply is very urgent and there is a need to provide emergency relief for long-term survival.
