Philippines
World Renew has been working in the Philippines since 2013 when Typhoon Haiyan devastated thousands of lives. The storm, which displaced 673,000 people and killed an estimated 4,460 people, is one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall.
WHAT WE DO
Since March 2015, programs have focused on the long-term rehabilitation and economic recovery of communities. By taking a holistic approach to community recovery, World Renew is helping families to find sustainable ways to improve household incomes through agriculture and fishing, running a local business, taking part in savings and loans groups, and much more. Over the three years since this work began, entire communities are lifting themselves out of poverty. Families have enough to eat, can provide for their own basic needs, are able to afford education for their children, and are even earning enough to save for the future.
