It’s been two years since Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines on November 8, 2013. Almost immediately afterthat, Consuelo Foundation has been contributing to the recovery effort and the rebuilding of lives and communities within the Visayas region. With generous support and collaboration from our donors and implementing partners, we have helped thousands of Filipinos pick up and piece together their lives. It has been an incredible two years of providing community-focused and sustainable support to children and families in Haiyan-affected areas. Using our five modes of intervention: 1) emergency assistance, 2) livelihood support, 3) infrastructure support, 4) child protection, and 5) building resilient communities, we have reached about 10,000 individuals in need. There is still much more to be done. We look forward to working with partners and beneficiaries and the opportunity afforded us to create something better and stronger than what existed before. In the process, we continue to build significant partnerships and create innovative approaches to both recovery and social redevelopment.With your support, we are committed to make a difference in the lives of incredibly resilient individuals and families we have had the honor to work with. This second anniversary report shares highlights of our work in the field for Project H.O.P.E., our Haiyan Operations for Protection and Empowerment. This report is our way of conveying to you our heartfelt salamat andmahalo.May you experience the priceless hope and innovative concepts that we have together brought to our partner individuals, families and communities.

During this first phase of intervention, we at Consuelo Foundation provided much- needed emergency assistance to survivors in several geographic areas. Forms of assistance included provision of food, medicines, family protection kits, psycho-social support and creation of safe spaces for children. Relief operations were paralleled with emergency employment for family members that allowed them to afford basic family needs. Early recovery likewise focused on various sustainable livelihood and income activities that were based on the strengths and skills of the identified community, as well as the local market. Repairs of day care centers, learning centers and schools were completed during this first phase.
Beginning January 2015, Project HOPE transitioned to Rehabilitation and Rebuilding. During this second phase, we are busy strengthening the child protection initiatives that we created in the local communities and monitoring the sustainable livelihood and infrastructure projects that we completed in the first phase of the program. More importantly, we have narrowed down our focus to three municipalities in Eastern Samar (Guiuan, Hernani and Giporlos) with the intention of leaving lasting and holistic impact in these communities in the area child protection and resiliency. We are in the early stages of planning a resilient community in Hernani, Eastern Samar, where families are given access to decent and sustainable housing, appropriate livelihood opportunities, with integration of values on family wellbeing and protecting children.

Three Thousand (3,000) survivors from Northern Cebu were provided emergency employment assistance and protective equipment for clearing operations in partnership with International Labor Organization (ILO) . This emergency employment response helped rebuild communities by clearing debris. It provided immediate economic assistance post- disaster through decent work, thereby lessening the vulnerability of the survivors to exploitation.

Brgy. Balingasag, Cuartero, Capiz
The town of Cuartero in Capiz was one of those remote towns terribly hit by Typhoon Haiyan, but not covered in the media. Due to its remoteness, it did not receive much attention from international humanitarian agencies and the national government. The Balingasag Primary School was one of those severely destroyed. We at Consuelo Foundation coordinated directly with local volunteers and built a strong partnership with the Balingasag Primary School principal who then mobilized the students’ parents and other community members who worked on the rebuilding of the destroyed facilities. At the end of the project, a new stagewas constructed for the school. The student’s toilet facilities were repaired and a new water system was provided. School supplies and learning materials were also provided for the children.

Barangay Malawig, Coron, Palawan
Not many people know that TyphoonHaiyan left the Philippine area of responsibility through Coron, Palawan and with much damage. Many island villages felt most of its wrath as it exited the country in the evening of November 8, 2013. One of these islands was Barangay Malawig , a remote island community composed of indigenous people from the Tagbanua tribe. Due to the distance of this island village frommain town of Coron, it received limited attention and emergency assistance. It thus became a top priority area for us at Consuelo. Our management team travelled to Barangay Malawig on March 3, 2014 to personally distribute the relief and emergency assistance and meet the people from the serene island village.

Provision of emergency meals and relief in Villamor Airbase
Right after Haiyan, thousands of affected residents from Leyte and Samar were flown in by the government to Manila through chartered C130 airplanes, flooding the Villamor Air Base, a military facility in the City of Pasay, Metro Manila. For days and weeks, they took shelter in temporary tents set up in the Base by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. We provided food and other relief items through our partners at the City Social Welfare Development Office of Pasay City.
Provision of generator set and solar lights in Western and Easter Samar and in Leyte
To address the lack of electricity in some of the affected areas by Typhoon Yolanda, we provided solar lights to communities in Hernani, Eastern Samar and generator set to Balay Consuelo , a shelter for sexually abused girls run by Western Visayas Development Foundation. In addition, one hundred twenty (120) families in a transient resettlement community in Tagpuro, Tacloban City received solar lights.

One of our key strategies has been to involve the people themselves in determining the type of livelihood and skills training assistance that would be helpful to them and their families. Using a participatory process, we make sure that these type of services we provided and continue to provide are diverse, relevant, and most of all, respectful of the men and women’s strengths and desires. During Phase 1 of Project Hope, most of our livelihood projects focused on emergency employment and rebuilding the tools needed by our beneficiaries using livelihood skills they had prior to Typhoon Haiyan. These were critical and much-needed interventions that paved the way for the families to jumpstart their recovery process. Examples are emergency employment for clearing debris and fallen trees, building of fishing boats for fishing communities, and building home-based enterprises for mothers and fathers.

Working with women survivors of Haiyan who were eager to contribute to their family income while their farmer or fishermen husbands were still struggling to revive their livelihood, we embarked on a cutflower and vegetable farming project in Ormoc, Leyte. This allowed them to learn new farming skills and created opportunity for them to earn their own income through the sales of their vegetables and cut-flowers within the city.

Typhoon Haiyan destroyed vast amounts of coconut farms throughout Leyte. To allow the farmers to utilize their land to plant new crops, there was an urgent need to clear the coconut tree debris to avoid them from being infested by pests. Local government units did not have sufficient resources to do this however. Hence, in partnership with the people’s organization Leyte Union of Producers of Agri-products (LUPA) , we carried out a coco-clearing project covering five (5) municipalities in Leyte namely 1) Tabon; 2) Jaro; 3) Tunga; 4) Alang- Alang; and 5) Kananga. This initiative provided emergency employment for 300 beneficiaries through a “cash-for- work” scheme for the clearing of fallen coconut trees and cultivating the cleared land. In addition, we provided five (5) chainsaws to aid in the implementation of the project.

In Barangay Sta. Cruz, Quinapondan province of Eastern Samar, a “cash-for- work” livelihood project in partnership with Western Samar Development Foundation (WESADEF) was carried out to help restore the lives of the typhoon victims. This project generated opportunities to re-establish their income through clearing of debris in nipa, mangrove and farming areas. The project was able to clear twenty-five (25) hectares of mangroves and up to twenty (20) hectares of nipa area. Two hundred (200) individuals benefited from this project. In line with this initiative, CF also provided five (5) carabaos in the nearby Barangay Mabini to aid the famers in tilling their lands.

A remote island village of Barangay Taluto-an in Concepcion, Iloilo was also identified as an area with great need of assistance during the rapid assessment. One hundred percent of the men in the island village relied on fishing as their source of livelihood. Naturally, when Haiyan hit and destroyed their boats, their families immediately suffered. In partnership with the religious order of the Daughters of Charity , we provided fishing boats, with fishing nets and gear to more than a hundred fisherfolk in Barangay Talotu-an. Other livelihood initiatives carried out in the area were the repair of school boats to serve as transportation for the children as they travelled to other islands for their schooling; and provision of start- up capital for the women in the village benefitting 115 families and 72 children.

In partnership with Salubong Movement , we organized ninety-five (95) men and women survivors of Haiyan fromBarangay Candahug in Palo, Leyte and Barangay 89 in Tacloban City. All of them were living near the coast and dozens of them lost one or more members of their family, most common of which were husbands. Our livelihood assistance focused on empowering these individuals to rebuild their lives through small enterprises. We provided them with start-up capital and basic training with mentoring and coaching on planning and establishing their small businesses, cashmanagement and financial literacy. The partner beneficiaries were actively involved in every step of creating and maintaining their ventures, with us at Consuelo Foundation in the background providing them with the technical assistance and moral support at every stage. At the end of the project period, the men and women were able to successfully launch their businesses, ranging from hog-raising, small convenience stores (sari-sari stores), small diners (carinderia), etc., all of which continue to thrive today.

Guiuan, a town in Eastern Samar, was where Haiyan made first landfall, with maximum sustained winds of 235 kph and gustiness of up to 275 kph. The strong winds and rain left the entire town destroyed. Months later, micro- entrepreneurs were still at a loss how to rebuild their sources of livelihood.

An organized women’s livelihood group named Guiuan Integrated Micro- Entrepreneurs Association (GIMEA) heard about our work in their area and approached us for assistance. After assessing their need, we provided fifty- one (51) of their qualified members with business capital assistance which allowed them to revive their small businesses ranging from sari-sari stores (community convenience stores), handicrafts, see weeds farming, making and selling of homemade delicacies, shell crafts, bag weaving, religious items, ornamental plants, organic liquid fertilizer, processed meat products etc.. Another organization called Dubarob Small Entrepreneurs Livelihood Association (DUSELA) livelihood comprised of twenty-one (21) men and women members. Consuelo Foundation provided business capital to members afterassessingtheircapabilityandinterest to venture in their chosen livelihood. CF staff assisted the beneficiaries in the purchasing of supplies, materials and equipment for their sari-sari stores, rolling stores, carinderias (community canteens), pedicabs, and motors for their fishing boats. Pedicab Drivers and Operators Association (PDOA) as they call themselves received livelihood assistance from us. The union was composed of fathers from different barangays of Guiuan, Eastern Samar with twenty-one (21) members whose age ranges from 20 – 60 years old. Pedicabs are one of the primary means of transportation in the municipality and is among the main source of living in the area aside from fishing, farming and livestock raising. Through our Project H.O.P.E, the pedicab drivers received new pedicabs or assistance in the repair of damaged ones. Lastly, the

Inpartnershipwith Germanphilanthropic organization, Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe e.V. (Help-e.V.) , we will be training fishermen in Guiuan, Eastern Samar on how to undertake mariculture, particularly production of monoline seaweed and bangus (milk fish). Not limiting the assistance to the men, this skills training project will also build and strengthen the capacity of their wives to undertake trainings in fish processing projects such as processing and bottling of smoked fish, sardines and seaweed processing, and packaging of dried fish. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) located in Tacloban is being tapped to provide the necessary technicalskillstrainingintheconstruction, operation and maintenance of fish cages and other structures, as well as the in the growing and rearing of fish and other marine species. Both fishermen and housewives will be organized into fishermen’s and women’s organization that is envisioned to decide for themselves specifically and methodically what and when to produce thereby ensuring that oversupply or overabundance of harvest or produce does not occur. Both organizations, for sustainability, will be duly registered and have a legal entity where they can readily access credit facilities and other financial opportunities.

In addition to supporting survivors in the revival of their previous livelihood, we seized the opportunity to introduce new skills and technologies to those who were willing to learn. With funding support from The Freeman Foundation and in collaboration with Bangon Mini-farms Project of the Landbank of the Philippines and the Local Government Unit of Giporlos, Eastern Samar , we established a demonstration farm, i.e. a training center and nursery for the residents of the community of Giporlos, Eastern Samar and neighboring towns. The objective of this ongoing project is to train and mentor the farmers on growing organic crops and technologies towards self-sufficiency. At the end of this project, farmers from the community are expected to have enhanced knowledge in agricultural technologies that they could venture into; practice the newly learned techniques in their own farms; and form functional associations composed of the participating farmers that will address the backward and forward needs and linkages of their members; and overall increased productivity of the participating farmers.

We are very proud of the daycare centers and schools that we rebuilt for various Haiyan-hit towns across the country. In working on these infrastructure projects, we ensured that the new structures are sturdy, disaster-resistant and aesthetically pleasing. Moreso, we engaged the entire community in the construction project, making the parents, teachers, daycare workers, barangay officials, barangay residents, and our local partners very much part of the project.

One other site that received substantial infrastructure support from our Project H.O.P.E. was the remote island village of Talotu-an in Concepcion, Iloilo. In partnership with the Daughters of Charity Religious Order , we rebuilt eight (8) classrooms at the Talotu-an Elementary School, and refurbished as well their mini-gym and multi-purpose hall. The school is the only elementary school in the entire island village, benefitting four hundred eleven (411) elementary students at any given time.

(CFSPI) and Sugbuanon Foundation we rebuilt two (2) classrooms and their computer laboratory, complete with brand new peripherals. In addition, we added an overhead water tank to address the water scarcity encountered by the school from time to time. This project was made possible by other generous donors tapped by CFSPI.

In many post-disaster situations, huge amounts of resources are poured into the more obvious needs such as rebuilding of damaged and destroyed structures. Recognizing the equally important aspect of helping survivors deal with their trauma, we partnered with the Psychosocial Support and Children Rights Resource Center (PSTCRRC) to educate and train fifty-three duty-bearers from the local government and community on Psychological First Aid (PFA) in our Project H.O.P.E. areas in Guiuan, Eastern Samar. Using their newly acquired skills, they were able to conduct PFA sessions with children and adults from their town. Furthermore, they can be tapped by the local government to conduct the same support service in the event that another calamity or traumatic incident occurs.

PROVISION OF PSYCHOSOCIAL SERVICES AND CHI LD-FRIENDLY SPACES
Through Project H.O.P.E., we supported the psychosocial interventions delivered by implementing partner Community and Family Service Inc. (CFSI) in Eastern Samar. The project provided child friendly spaces and conducted psychosocial care to 458 victims survivors of typhoon Haiyan. The child-friendly spaces (CFS) were small facilities which were used as a venue in the delivery of psychosocial activities aimed at reducing the trauma experienced by children. During weekdays it also doubled as a daycare center for children ages 3-5.
COM I N G TOG E T H E R F O R T H E P R OT E C T I ON O F C H I L D R E N
Child Protection Cluster Meetings are regularly convened by our Project H.O.P.E. staff in Eastern Samar. These coordination meetings are meant to provide a venue for all public and private organizations working in the area to update one another, to encourage collaboration among stakeholders and toprevent duplicationof services related to child protection in municipalities. Acting as both catalyst and convenor, we at Consuelo Foundation Project H.O.P.E shepherd the member stakeholders as they work together in preventing child abuse, neglect and exploitation and other protection issues post-Haiyan. The goal is to address these issues together through appropriate local ordinances, case management and advocacy activities. One of the key contributions in the local communities is the creation of a flip chart on basic child protection awareness. It includes concepts such as the four basic rights of children, types of abuse, how to prevent it and practical guidelines on what to do if we encounter it. Our child protection team has rolled out these orientations using the flip chart on all daycare centers we built and is continuing to do so with other schools within our area.

In partnership with the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) , we at Consuelo Foundation successfully launched and implemented the “Search for Exemplary Government Registered Social Workers during Typhoon Yolanda Award” . The project gave recognition to six (6) social workers who served in various Haiyan areas. It highlighted and shared with the public their innovative and dedicated work in the field of disaster response and management and child protection in emergencies. The awarding took place at the Manila Hotel last April 28, 2015, and was attended more than two hundred guests from national government agencies, including the Office of the President, and many international and local non- government agencies involved in Haiyan relief and rehabilitation work. The top award was given to Zenaida Cunanan, a government social worker serving in Guiuan, Eastern Samar. The awardees were carefully selected by a board of judges composed of highly respected social work professionals who are considered as pioneers and leaders in the field.

For me, farming is one of the most humble and noble work. Though I only earn a meagre income and cannot provide all the things that my children wish to have, I am still proud that I can give their basic needs. Tilling the land and planting vegetables or root crops cannot give you the assurance that you will have a good harvest. Attitude, values, perseverance and commitment to work also plays a vital role. Those are the things that I learned through the trainings that were conducted by Consuelo Foundation. We, the beneficiaries of demo farm are really grateful to God for sending Consuelo Foundation as an instrument of help which paves the way for the farmers like me to be equipped with the necessary skills and values. The Foundation will always be a part of our success. We will always bring the learnings that we obtain as we continue our journey in reaching our dreams.
The timeliness of response of Consuelo Foundation in the repair and refurbishment of Child Development Centers in Guiuan was one of the factors that paved the way in the fast recovery of these facilities that was damaged by the Super Typhoon Yolanda. Because of the effort that was exerted by the Foundation, children were able to experience comfort and safety, away from hazards and exposure to heat and rain. Furthermore, organizing their Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention Network in the municipality and capacity building of service providers gives hope to the children victims of abuse. Indeed, the Guiuananons, are very much grateful to the Foundation for giving the children utmost priority and for being a source of strength during their downfall.

Education is essential to every human being. It is a lifelong process that needs to be reinforced throughout life. With the advent of education, people become more knowledgeable and productive. But it is also a reality that not everybody has the means of sending children to higher level of education thus with the commitment of giving hope and to serve the people especially so after the devastation of Super Typhoon Yolanda. Consuelo Foundation put up a technical-vocational school. It provides people with practical skills that can lead to a lifetime success. With this, we are really grateful to God for giving us a new hope through the goodness of Consuelo Foundation.
For us in Guiuan Integrated Micro- Entrepreneurs Association (GIMEA), Consuelo Foundation greatly helped us during the time when we had almost nothing. We were able to start a new microbusiness from the financial assistance that was extended to us by the Foundation. At present, we are receiving reasonable support that in one way or another helps us sustain our daily needs. Truly the Foundation has played a vital role in rebuilding our livelihood. For us, the Foundation will serve as our motivation as we continue to grapple the zenith of success.
