This time of year, December is one of the busiest that we have mainly due to the Holiday Season as well as with the difficult situation in our project areas because of the Coronavirus pandemic. Despite this, we continue to deliver much-needed services to our communities, thanks a lot to our supporters from the Philippines as well as internationally. We are grateful for the help which ensures our continuing support to our beneficiaries with our signature water, agroforestry, nutrition and development projects.

  Meet Cora Sayre, a 2018 Disaster Feedback Fellow of the Disaster Recovery Network at GlobalGiving.   T he country Cora Sayre calls home is  one of the most vulnerable to climate change  in the world.
