Typhoon Goni, known locally as Typhoon Rolly, has caused mass destruction in the Philippines. Families now face the double threat of the typhoon and protecting themselves from coronavirus.

Please donate today to provide shelter for families devastated by this terrible disaster.

Super Typhoon Goni made landfall in the Catanduanes Islands on October 31. Typhoon Atsani made landfall in Batanes province just days later. Another typhoon is expected to hit the Philippines on Wednesday. Families have already endured so much in the last few weeks, and these additional storms bring an additional layer of fear and uncertainty.

Another life-threatening storm, Hurricane Eta, has wreaked havoc across several countries in Central America and the Caribbean. We are actively monitoring reports from both regions and are making preparations for a potential response.
Meanwhile our coronavirus response continues, supporting families who need shelter and essential items to protect themselves from the deadly virus. This week’s powerful storms are a stark reminder that disasters don’t stop for coronavirus.

Your support is needed now more than ever.

Providing items that save lives and rebuild homes

When disasters destroy homes, shelter is essential. Your donation will provide the tools and materials to create quality shelters, and rebuild lives. We use your support to choose exactly the right aid for each community after disaster strikes

Shelter kits enable families to fix damaged walls and roofs. They are more than just tools – they are an opportunity for self-recovery.

When the Taal Volcano erupted in the Philippines last May, over half a million people were driven from their homes. Among them was 79-year-old grandmother of one, Teresita.

Teresita’s family joined thousands of others crammed into temporary shelter. But in this overcrowded space the whole family were at risk of coronavirus. And it was Teresita who was most vulnerable.

We knew we had to act fast. Thanks to a shelter kit from ShelterBox, Teresita and her family turned the wreckage back into a home

But now it’s typhoon season and families across the Philippines are at risk once again.

Please donate today. Your gift will help buy vital shelter and aid either in the Philippines, or wherever the need is greatest.
