Operation Walang Iwanan for Typhoon Lando will shift to REHABILITATION
starting November 2015.
 |
|
We are targeting to help 1000 farmers who do not have the capacity to restart their rice farms post Typhoon Lando.
With Php 30,000 seed money, a farmer with a 1-hectare plot* can already implement a full farming cycle (3 months) from planting to harvest.
Help our farmers start over. Walang Iwanan!
*average plot size for small scale farmers

GK Operation Walang Iwanan Typhoon Lando (Koppu) is now ACTIVATED.
We are in close coordination with all provinces that are being affected by Typhoon Lando, but GK will focus our initial relief operations in the province of Nueva Ecija. They are now experiencing massive flooding, mostly affecting rice farmers who will urgently need food packs. Thankfully, most if not all our GK communities in the province were spared. These GK communities will be our platform and our partners in distributing relief packs for the flood victims.
For the initial relief operations, we intend to distribute 5,000 food packs (PHP 200 per pack) and we would like to seek your help. At this point, it is more practical to receive donations in cash than in kind.
Team GK will set up an operations center in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija. Our next advisory will be on October 20 – please visit this page for more updates.
May the Lord bless all our efforts and keep our volunteers safe as we demonstrate our solidarity to the typhoon victims.
Walang Iwanan!
