HUNGER RELIEF CHILDREN

When Typhoon Yolanda hit Leyte, Operation Blessing was one of the first responders that organized relief efforts. But the help didn’t stop there. We build the Community of Hope, a community development project for the families most severely affected by Yolanda.

This time, help continues as we turn over new livelihood project assistance to families in the community.

Livelihood projects are small-scale businesses like rice retailing, meat and food vending, fruits and rice vending, retailing, frozen food business, and even support to farming with equipment and supplies given to the family.

“This is such a big blessing for us. Praise the Lord! I am so excited to start selling,” says Juna Glen, recipient of frozen food vending project.

With this, the families can stand on their own with sustainable income. They will worry less on whether or not they will have food on their tables the next day. They also have the opportunity expand their businesses.

We are on a mission to improve education for Mangyan students in Sinariri!

Access to education is a fundamental right for every child, and it is especially important for children living in remote and disadvantaged communities. In many indigenous communities, school infrastructure is often inadequate, and students are forced to sit on the floor during lessons. This can impact their learning experience and make it difficult for them to concentrate and engage in their studies.

To address this issue, Operation Blessing partnered with the AY Foundation to improve the learning environment for students in Sinariri Highschool by turning over a set of armchairs and other school supplies. This, indeed, is a significant step towards improving the learning experience for students in the indigenous school.
