We wish to thank donors who have contributed to our AAI project assisting families after typhoon.
In September, 2018, typhoon Mangkhut delivered destruction in the Philippines, killing an estimated 60 persons and more than 105,000 homeless. The main areas hit by the typhoon are the most productive farming lands in the Philippines. Schools in the Visayas region were damaged and flooded. Your donations have helped AAI continue to support communities after the repair and reopening of schools to students and faculty.
A key AAI program is the preparation of daily lunch by mom's and volunteers at school. A student's health and well-being are the key to success in school. After a devastating event such as a typhoon, communities rely on their central school to bring normalcy to their lives. Knowing that school lunches and clean water will be provided, parents feel encouraged to send their children to school even as clean up and repairs continue.
Our long-term impact is self-sufficiency of storm survivors across the region. Our immediate goal is to keep people alive, healthy and in a positive frame of mind to be enthusiastic about building a better future. Our strength is in our cooperative partnerships with local, national and international humanitarian organizations and with local community leaders. Your role is essential.
