Reconstruction after the typhoon Haiyan

Cunina wants to leave a lasting impression in the places where they are active. The goal of our projects is to help the local community become independent and self-reliant. As a partner, you are not just a sponsor but also the driving force behind the realization of the project.

Why has Cunina started this project?

The typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines on 8 November 2013. The north of Cebu, the island where hundreds of children can go to school thanks to the Cunina child sponsorships, was also hit.

Cunina normally does not do emergency aid projects, but when we heard that the roofs of the houses owned by Cunina families were destroyed, we took action. We collected funds for 50 Philippine families, so they could replace or renovate their destroyed roofs.

We work together with the local community and use local materials to support the local economy, create jobs and provide even more children with education.

Why does Cunina operate in the Philippines?

The quality of education in the Philippines is often very poor, because the government budget for education is very limited. The school buildings are either too small or in a bad condition. Some cities or towns in the Philippines do not even have a school. A blackboard and chalk are the most important teaching materials, because there are (almost) no books available.

Cunina operates in Manila, Cebu, Bayombong and Balamban.
