Gawad Kalinga's Operation Walang Iwanan: Typhoon Yolanda is now activated for relief operations. Donate and volunteer today!

Amidst the devastation, hope, faith and bayanihan abounds. Days after Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) ripped through the still-recuperating Visayas region, relief efforts have been pouring in from generous sectors around the world.

Gawad Kalinga has activated Operation Walang Iwanan: Typhoon Yolanda as a relief campaign to rally friends and volunteers together in bayanihan spirit. We are appealing for donations in kind and cash to help rebuild the hardest-hit areas of Iloilo, North Negros, Ormoc and Cebu.

 

VOLUNTEER.

Team GK is repacking and distributing food packs containing a combination of rice, canned goods and water. Each food pack costs Php200 ($5) and is good for 4-6 meals for a family of 5. We are targeting 50,000 food packs* given the magnitude of the need.

**As of November 13, 18,500 food packs are being repacked and distributed. Despite challenges on logistics and weather, Team GK continues to push and cross the limits. Help us bring concrete hope to our fellowmen in their moment of greatest need.
