Super Typhoon Doksuri in the Philippines

In July 2023, Super Typhoon Doksuri made landfall in The Philippines. The local government preemptively evacuated residents from areas in the storm's path. The Super Typhoon had winds of up to 124 miles per hour, which caused significant damage to infrastructure. To date, four Child Development Centers (CDCs) and 102 participants were impacted. The Compassion Philippines National Office is monitoring the situation closely and is determining the best way to provide assistance to families who were impacted by the storm. Please rest assured that we will notify you as soon as possible if your child is affected in any way.

Please pray for all residents who were impacted by the storm.

As of December 19, 2023, majority of the impacted participants and their families have recovered. To date, four Child Development Centers (CDCs) and 102 participants were impacted. Most participants' homes have been repaired with the help from the church, church partners and the government, and they have received food assistances from CDCs and the government. The caregivers of participants who were unable to work due to the flooding have been able to return to their usual work.

Thank you for your prayers for the impacted participants and their families.
