Dear Friends,
Greetings and thank you very much for your continuing support to provide decent homes to typhoon survivors in Leyte. This phase in our work is focused on building the capacities of local residents to be resilient in face of natural calamities such as typhoons. Due to climate change and other factors it is predicted that typhoons will visit Leyte more often hence the need for residents to withstand the ill effects of these calamities is urgent.
Our capacity-building activities is based in our Typhoon Resilience Learning Centre which is already a permanent home/office for WAND Foundation in Leyte. The trainings include water and sanitation, basic livelihoods, home-gardening, community-building and youth development. This reporting period we were able to train a total of 75 farmers on basic agro-farm livelihoods using root crops and vegetables as the main crop to grow. Root crops is special in the sense that the roots are underground and thus can withstand wind and rain.
Again, thank you very much for your kind support.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
