The Humanitarian Disaster Preparedness and Response (HDPR) program and the Surge Team of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) went to the City of Naga two days after the September 20 massive landslide to evaluate the situation on the ground — in the evacuation camps and assess possible aid that could be provided to the survivors and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
A call for donations, both cash and in-kind, was communicated through social media, in order to add to the assistance that RAFI purchased for the families. Volunteers came on September 27 to help in the sorting and re-packing of relief goods – from sleeping mats to blankets and dignity kits for all the IDPs.
Maria Theresa, a volunteer said, “This is the least I can do as citizen of Cebu; to extend our service and help, and I think it’s a good decision to join and volunteer for RAFI.”
Another volunteer, Cedric, from the University of San Carlos, said, “I am here to help, in my own little way, those who were part of the tragedy in Naga, it feels good to help!”
To date, 1,626 families and 6,854 individuals are spread across eleven (11) evacuation centers; 2,125 of these are children.
RAFI will continue to monitor the situation and update this page as we get more details. #RAFICaresForNaga
