Reconstruction underway in Philippines following deadly typhoon
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadJeanette Quilitano fabricates new fishing nets on Jinamoc Island, part of the municipality of Basey in the Philippines province of Samar that was hit hard by Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013. The storm was known locally as Yolanda, and left most of the island's boats, nets, and houses destroyed. The community received some new boats from the government, and material for new nets from a media conglomerate. The ACT Alliance has been providing a variety of assistance to survivors, including cash for work and temporary housing, and is planning a long-term rehabilitation program with residents that will include permanent housing, schools, agricultural development, and water and sanitation facilities.
