MADRE is working with our sister organization
in the Philippines to rush emergency aid to survivors of the disaster.
We know that in the coming days, there will be a growing need for medical
supplies and medicines, clothing, rubber boots to help prevent the spread
of waterborne disease, and plastic sheeting for emergency shelters. Women
survivors, who are primarily responsible for the care of injured and traumatized
families, require concerted support in order to care for their families
and meet their own needs. MADRE works with women-led, local organizations
to ensure that aid is distributed efficiently and equitably.
We are currently collecting donations
for this relief effort on our website www.madre.org
(the direct link to our donation page is http://madre.kintera.org/philippinesrelief).
We will also accept donations over the phone at 212-627-0444, and checks
with "Philippines Mudslide" written on the memo line can be sent
to:
