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.
