Rebuild the lives of 5000 Typhoon Haiyan survivors

Dear Friends and Supporters,

This is the final report as the project ended on 30 September 2015. I am sure you are aware that there is still so much work still to be done in helping the survivors to fully recover, and I urge you to continue to support other worthwhile projects on Global Giving.

So what did you help us to achieve in helping over the last year?

To meet with the changing need our project changed focus shifting from relief to building disaster resilience so that the survivors would be better prepared to withstand future natural disasters.

We were able to train and place five youth volunteers from Mindanao to work for one year to help their fellow Filipinos. Aidah and Mei-Mei worked in Tacloban with Eastern Visayas Network; in Cebu, Bolkia and Mami with Gualandi Volunteer Service Programme and Nene with Rescue Assistance Peacekeeping Intelligence Detail.
