Where We Are Working

The Philippines is facing an exceptionally destructive typhoon season, with six major storms displacing nearly a million people in just a month. Severe flooding, landslides, and waterlogged areas have made recovery extremely difficult.

ShelterBox is partnering with local organizations to deliver essential shelter supplies like tarpaulins, tools, and cash assistance to help families rebuild. With more storms expected, urgent support is needed to protect those in crisis.

With other families already living in displacement camps after Cyclone Freddy in 2023, there is a shortage of tents, tarpaulins, and household items.
