Hello. GlobalGiving will be partnering with the Disaster Management Response Program at De La Salle University in Manila to provide relief following Tropical Storm Ketsana and subsequent flooding. These efforts are particularly important as the Philippines braces for another typhoon, expected to make landfall on Saturday.
The Disaster Management Response Program is currently collecting and deploying relief goods, and will be transitioning from this initial disaster recovery to helping communities rebuild in the coming days and weeks.
Your generous donation to our relief fund will be going to this local organization. We will be replacing the general fund on our website with a project giving details of the Disaster Management Response Program's activities (http://www.globalgiving.com/projects/philippinesdisasterresponse/). You will receive project updates as they are available from De La Salle. Please contact Bill Brower (bbrower@globalgiving.com) with any questions.
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you will get an e-mail when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports via e-mail without donating.
We'll only email you new reports and updates about this project.
When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
