Why help matters now
Families need support during displacement and as they return home
People in evacuation centres need safe shelter, clean water, food, healthcare, accessible sanitation and protection services. Those staying with relatives or outside formal sites can be less visible to registration and assistance systems.
As water recedes, households may face damaged homes, contaminated supplies, lost possessions and interrupted livelihoods. Safe returns depend on reliable information and functioning roads, utilities and local services.
This AidWorkers.com campaign is independent. Cited organisations are evidence sources and are not presented as partners or recipients of donations to AidWorkers.com.
- Safe temporary shelter and protection support
- Clean water, sanitation and hygiene supplies
- Food, medicines and essential household items
- Support for host families and people outside formal centres
- Safe return, home repair and livelihood recovery

Is this a Philippine government or United Nations appeal?
No. This is an independent AidWorkers.com campaign. The organisations named above are evidence sources and are not presented as partners or recipients.
Will every donation be sent directly to families in the Philippines?
No such claim is made. The campaign supports AidWorkers.com's flood-related humanitarian purposes, including verified public information, practical resources, response readiness and authorised direct or partner support where feasible. Any confirmed transfer or delivery should be reported separately and transparently.
Why could the figures change?
People move between evacuation centres, host households and their homes, while local damage and casualty records are still being checked. New official reports can therefore revise the totals.
