World Renew distributed emergency food and other
items to 3,973 families in need!

To assist with the project, five International Relief Managers
went to the Philippines

They identified three regions on three islands on which World Renew could
focus its attention.

This was done in cooperation with other organizations to ensure that
there was no duplication.

Before Typhoon
Haiyan, she was a
seamstress and her husband farmed
coconuts.

During the storm, the family hid
beneath the raised floor of a friend’s
house.

“My faith helped me, it
helped me get through that time,” she said.

When the storm was over, they had lost
everything. “We had no clothes, no house, no
food.”

Rolinda lost her sewing equipment and there
are no more coconut trees to
farm.

World Renew came to the tent
community where Rolinda’s family now lives.
