Shelter and Livelihoods – Top Needs in the Recovery Phase

World Vision’s Relief response:

World Vision has launched one of its largest relief operations in the Philippines to respond to the needs of the affected. Three months after typhoon Haiyan devastated the country, while food aid remains an important part of our relief distributions, shelter has now become the number one concern of the typhoon survivors.

Our relief work covers the following areas:

1. Food
   - Over 113,000 families were provided with food kits (rice, canned food, mung beans, biscuit, oil and water)
2. Shelter and essential survival support
   - About 73,700 families received emergency shelter kits (tarps and ropes), kitchen sets, and essential non-food item kits (blankets, mosquito nets and sleeping mats)
3. Water and sanitation
   - Over 40,000 families were provided with hygiene kits (toothbrush, toothpaste, soaps, sanitary items, etc)
   - About 18,000 families received water treatment kits (jerry cans and aquatabs)
   - Hygiene promotion sessions were conducted on proper handwashing, water treatment and storage, and proper excreta disposal
4. Health and nutrition
   - Birthing kits, baby kits and breastfeeding kits were distributed to pregnant women and mothers
   - Health sessions were conducted to about 1,700 families to promote good health practices
   - 15 Women and Young Children Spaces (WAYCS) were established to provide a safe space for lactating mothers and their young children, where mothers also learn about breastfeeding and nutrition.
5. Education
   - 45 Child Friendly Spaces were established to provide a safe space for children to play and learn, and to relieve their disaster stress.

As we transit from emergency relief to the recovery phase in early 2014, our response will focus on two most pressing needs – shelter and livelihoods, with all other areas connecting to and feeding into them.

Please continue to support the typhoon survivors, who are still in great need of help to rebuild their lives!
