Disaster resilience is about the people.
At the heart of this reconstruction work is the people. Although much attention is given when disasters strike, we often forget that poverty is the biggest tragedy that they need to face EVERYDAY, and they have to weather life’s many storms, even beyond the typhoons, storm surges and the wrath of nature.
So when these life storms do pass, it’s people who decide whether to wither or recover, to give up or to rise again. It’s people who do the job of cleaning up after the aftermath and who carry the mission of lifting one another up and building back, better. And throughout life’s ups and downs, we know that we need to rely on people – on ourselves and on one another to rise above each challenge and move forward.
Disaster resilience is about the people. Read the stories of Tatay Bien, Nanay Merlita and Tito Ping and be inspired by their faith, love for others and extraordinary gift for hope:
