Emergency Assistance to Typhoon Affected Communities in Catanduanes and Albay Province
We are off to a pretty good start this year. Last week, we held our first distributions of hygiene and water kits to 506 families in selected barangays in Baras and San Miguel, Catanduanes.
This is part of our ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ง๐๐ฝ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐น๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ. We are hoping to reach a total of 900 families for ourย #TyphoonRollyย Response in Catanduanes alone.
Our goal is to provide humanitarian support to 7,930 vulnerable families in Catanduanes and Albay which were affected by the typhoon. Our interventions will include emergency repairs and construction of water and sanitation facilities, more hygiene and water kits distributions, cash assistance, establishing community hand-washing stations, and hygiene promotions through community engagement.
This will be implemented together with our partner,ย CARE Philippines, with funding fromย USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
