PWRDF Provides Aid After Typhoon Haiyan
November 8, 2013
By Simon Chambers

Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines today, causing the evacuation of over 125,000 people, the loss of power to an entire province, and unknown levels of damage to homes, schools and businesses in the area.  We do know that very few buildings can withstand the 315 km/h winds that are estimated to have swept Haiyan ashore.

PWRDF is responding to the storm by sending an initial grant of $20,000 through the ACT Alliance to provide relief to those affected.  ACT will provide food, water, medicine, and hygiene items to affected families in the affected areas.

One of the implementing partners of the ACT appeal is the National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP), a partner PWRDF has worked with for years on development projects in the area.

Donations to those affected will be gratefully accepted:
      Huron Hunger Fund  (please make cheque payable to “The Diocese of Huron”
      Attention: Philippines Typhoon Relief
     190 Queens Ave.
     London, ON   N6A 6H7

      519-434-6893 ext 236 for VISA or MC
