Caritas in the Philippines
The first step is Relief
Distributing emergency food supplies…
…cleaning things (soap, toothpaste, etc.)
…materials for building temporary shelters
…transporting supplies to remote places
The second phase is called Recovery
The goal is to ‘build back better’
…employing local people and materials
Coconut palms felled by the storm become the building materials for new houses
These houses are built on a hillside, so they will not get flooded out again
Veges are planted to feed families and sell
Livelihoods (like fishing) are re-established
These women make super-hot chilli powder
Safe water supply is re-established…
…so life can start returning to normal again
