Heifer has successfully contacted all of their central Philippines staff in the wake of super typhoon Haiyan, and they are all OK, however it is becoming clearer that their project areas were devastated by the force of the storm. Heifer now knows that virtually all of their farming families in the direct line of the typhoon—about 4,000 people—will need immediate assistance.
One of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded devastated parts of the central Philippines, a country already coping with three major disasters over the past two months. The death toll continues to rise and access remains an issue. With nearly 9.5 million people in the Philippines affected, the need for life-saving emergency assistance is significant.
