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.
