Two weeks have passed since Typhoon Goni devastated the Philippines. Please take a moment to read about our on-going assistance activities in the affected areas.
Cash Cheques Distributed to 299 Households
On November 18, A-PAD Philippines and Entrepreneur’s Organization Philippines donated cash cheques of 500 pesos (USD10) each to 299 households living in Barangay West Carisac, Libon, Albay. Entrepreneur’s Organization Philippines is comprised of over 100 venture capital companies.
River banks were destroyed by heavy rains in West Carisac. Roads, agricultural lands, and houses were flooded and many residents evacuated without taking any belongings. Gift cheques will be used by the affected families to purchase food, hygiene items, and household supplies at local markets.
