Let us rebuild a stronger future in the Philippines
Dear Vincentian Family Leaders,
A month ago, Typhoon Odette/Rai wreaked havoc in the Philippines, killing over 400 people. The Vincentian Family in the Philippines (VF Philippines) swiftly organized to provide emergency relief to the over 5.4 million people affected by the typhoon. As the emergency phase is evolving into the
rehabilitation, they have prepared this video requesting support for the rehabilitation phase.
The VF Philippines aims to:
* provide emergency shelter kits for upwards of 100 families affected in Malitbog, Limasawa
Island (Southern Leyte) and Bolusao (Eastern Samar);
* build typhoon resilient family houses in the same areas. more equipped to deal with an everchanging climate and adhering to the SPHERE international development standards for quality, size, clean water and sanitation.
Recognizing the power a home has to rebuild a stable future for a family, the Famvin Homeless Alliance (FHA) requests your support. Uniting with Vincentians in the Philippines, you can contribute to transform the lives of many poor people in the Philippines. Here’s how:
* Each shelter kit costs $300;
* Each house costs $ 7500.
Please donate whatever you can to show solidarity with our VF Philippines in this time of desperate need.
