Reconstruction underway in Philippines following deadly typhoon
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadParticipating in a cash for work program sponsored by the National Council of Churches in the Philippines and Norwegian Church Aid, men carry sand to be used in the construction of new toilets 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. Known locally as Yolanda, the storm left most of the island's boats, nets, and houses destroyed. The community received a few new boats from the government, and material for new nets from a media conglomerate. The NCCP and NCA and other ACT Alliance members have been providing a variety of assistance to survivors, including cash for work and temporary housing, and are planning a long-term rehabilitation program with residents that will include permanent housing, schools, agricultural development, livelihood activities, and water and sanitation facilities.
