Disaster Response Fund 

In the wake of a disaster, it is children who suffer most. World Vision is often one of the first organizations to begin relief work after a disaster, and we remain on the ground for the long haul, rebuilding communities and restoring hope.

Currently World Vision is responding to flash floods caused by tropical storm Washi that have left hundreds of people dead and thousands of families homeless.

World Vision Staff in the Philippines are assessing the need. Aid worker Crislyn Felisilda reported that the well-being of children who had lost or been separated from family members was a top concern for World Vision. "I spoke with a 13-year-old girl, Remy, whose mother was found dead and whose father and two siblings were still missing,” said Felisilda, "Many children like Remy that I spoke with were crying, others just stared into space. Many children are looking for their loved ones."
