A recent cyclone inflicted serious damage to our girl's home orphanage and staff quarters on the Philippine island of Cebu. Fortunately everyone is safe and our newly-expanded hen house was spared any major damage. Repairs are already underway, using capital taken from our emergency fund. However we do not maintain a large emergency fund and still lack $8,600 to complete the repairs. We are urgently seeking these funds to repair and strengthen the structure in preparation for future storms.

Our native team on the island of Cebu have been making a difference in the lives of those affected by extreme poverty for over 10 years. Our work of reaching orphans, destitute children and at-risk widows in the Philippines is being sustained and multiplied by a hen house project. Recently, funds were provided for the addition of a second level on the hen house, doubling our capacity and egg production potential. 

As we reach an average of 400 children monthly through our children's outreach program, we've encountered orphan girls who are victims of child labor or slavery situations. In response to this tragic realization, our native team has provided refuge for a handful of these girls through the girl's home orphanage. 

This effort to rescue orphan girls from tragic circumstances has been made possible by a combination of orphan sponsorships and the success of our native team's hen house. For other orphans we've encountered who are living with relatives, we're also offering education supplies and scholarships. Please review the 'take action' links below to learn more about how you can get involved. 

Although we are discouraged by the recent damages, we are thankful that the girls, our staff, and all of the residents of the local communities we serve were able to survive the cyclone. We also remain hopeful that funds will be provided soon and that the girl's home will come out stronger and safer in the long-term.
