Summary[edit]

Description

The roof of Fransisca and Nadiato's home was badly damaged when Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines on 8 November. But ten days after the storm, the NGO Plan distributed UK-funded tarpaulins in their village - meaning that Fransisca and Nadiato now have some protection from the elements again.

"For five nights after the typhoon we couldn't sleep because we got wet when it rained. But necause of this tarpaulin we can sleep well again and it is safe for our grandchildren", says Fransisca.

In addition to distributing items like tarpaulins and jerrycans, UK aid is also helping Plan to provide clean drinking water and constructing pit latrines for at least 100,000 people. Damaged infrastructure means clean water is in short supply.
