Balay Mindanaw DREAM keeps on..

Helping rebuild homes, helping rebuild lives…

Balay Mindanaw Disaster Risk-Reduction and Resiliency-Building and Emergency Assistance Mission (DREAM) teams continue to live and work in our chosen areas, connecting with local leaders, getting and validating data, mobilizing volunteers, preparing relief goods, distributing other aids with partners.

After the distribution of food packs and water in the communities of Ormoc and Capiz in Panay Island during the first weeks of relief operations, shelter repair materials and hygiene kits are the next immediate needs of families in the aftermath of Yolanda disaster, based from the actual field assessment of DREAM teams. Such essentials cannot wait no longer in some areas. For instance in Barangay Goce in the municipality of P. Roxas, the communities have boldly started rebuilding their homes without delays, not waiting for reliefs. They know better.

As part of the emergency response, Balay Mindanaw’s goal is to help 5,000 families with food relief packs, 3,000 families with shelter/home repair materials and hygiene kits. Given the resources that were mobilized from friends and donors all over the globe since day one, Balay Mindanaw hopes to deliver these assistances including the aids provided by other local and international partners.
