 It has been three weeks since Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines. That means three weeks since families were left scrambling to find some semblance of normalcy as they rebuild their lives. On the ground since the storm hit, our teams have been working to reach vulnerable families in remote areas and build a pipeline for aid distribution to continue in the coming months. Rotary has been there with us every step along the way.

As a Rotary International Project Partner ShelterBox is deeply engaged in the response to multiple disasters occurring around the globe – including Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines recently.

A team of our volunteers, including Rotarians, are on the ground responding now. They have been in the area working to provide emergency shelter and other supplies to families displaced by an earthquake that occurred less than a month ago. Now, their efforts will include typhoon recovery.
