In 2021, Typhoon Rai devastated the Philippines, submerging villages and disrupting power and water supplies. To assist the worst-affected communities in rebuilding their lives, we provided essential household and hygiene items to 3,100 families. Additionally, we supported 5,100 children with Education Kits to help them restart learning, regain a sense of normalcy and ensure that their education was not disrupted by the disaster.
“We were really left with nothing after the typhoon; that is why we are grateful for the help we received from Save the Children. Through the assistance that we received, we were able to focus our limited resources on other priority needs such as food and the repair of our house.” said Amelia, a mother of five children.
