A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Mindanao on Monday, June 8, as millions of children were set to return to school for the opening of the academic year. The earthquake caused widespread damage to homes, schools, hospitals and critical infrastructure, disrupting essential services and threatening community safety. At least 46 people have died and over 400 are injured. Thousands of families have been displaced and urgently need support, including food, safe drinking water, emergency shelter, hygiene supplies, and psychosocial support, especially for children affected by trauma and ongoing aftershocks. 

World Vision team is on the ground, working alongside communities to restore safety, protect children and support families. We target to reach at least 2,000 families, (approximately 8,000 individuals) in our emergency response.

Your support is critical in delivering timely essentials to the affected children and families. 

• $40 can provide a food kit for a family.
• $80 can provide household essentials kit including bedding, lighting, mosquito nets and basic cooking utensils to restore daily living.
• $300 can provide one shelter kit for a household of four, including two tarpaulins and 30 meters of rope.
• $2,500 can provide one child-friendly space for 20 children to receive psychosocial support sessions.
