Philippines Disaster Relief
A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to our appeal for assistance for those affected by Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) in the Philippines. The Typhoon followed close on the heals of a major earthquake in the central area of the Philippines an these two disasters had a major impact on both those living there, and also on the infrastructure, housing and other administrative aspects of the country.
Thanks to your generosity, WOFKC was able to send both medical and financial assistance to some of the regions most badly affected including a medical mission to the Bohol area.
For details on the mission, and the relief efforts, please see the PHILIPPINES DISASTER REPORT
Of course, the effects of this disaster will be felt for many years to come. Many lost their shelter and means of earning a living (fishing boats were lost etc.) and the buildings upon which they rely (hospitals, schools etc.) suffered major damage in many areas. We are committed to continuing to work with our partners in the Philippines to assist with the reconstruction.d
