During the relief phases Muslim Charity helped in saving lives through the distribution of Emergency Survival Kits consisting of tarpaulins, ground mates, blankets, cooking implements, along with some tools which were distributed amongst the families in rural areas of Leyte, Philippines.
A combination of poverty, Typhoon Haiyan and a lack of family support has posed enormous challenges for the vulnerable people to meet their basic needs like housing, protection from frequent typhoons and most importantly psycho-social needs of children. Muslim Charity is beginning the rehabilitation phase in Leyte. Upon returning from a recent visit to the region, Muslim Charity’s Director of Programmes, Irfan Rajput, commented: “Our priority is making sure people can rebuild their houses through the provision of material for roofing and a multi-purpose community and evacuation centre is our mid-term priority”.
