World Vision Intensifies Support for Children Affected by Disasters and Climate Change

In the wake of record-breaking summer temperatures, the country faces a new challenge as the rainy season approaches, bringing the threat of strong typhoons, floods, and diseases. This shift is a stark reminder of the worsening global climate crisis, which disproportionately impacts developing countries like the Philippines.

This changing climate exacerbates extreme weather events, affects food security, disrupts the environment and community life, and significantly hinders vulnerable populations, especially women and children. Recognizing this, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child has urged countries and stakeholders to protect the rights of children, particularly in the context of climate change.

World Vision Philippines is committed to this cause, working urgently with local and international partners to uplift lives and mitigate future environmental damage. Our aim is to ensure that children can grow up in a safe, secure environment where they can thrive.

“Children are the most vulnerable to the worsening impacts of climate change,” says Jun N. Godornes, World Vision’s Interim National Director. “But we at World Vision, are dedicated to providing immediate relief and long-term support to these communities, ensuring that children can have a brighter future despite the challenges posed by the climate crisis.”

World Vision Philippines has numerous initiatives – including #DapatReady — to help address this pressing issue. These include disaster preparedness campaigns, donation drives, and recovery and rehabilitation support for affected communities. Through these efforts, we strive to create resilient communities that can withstand the impacts of climate change and help thousands of families across the country.

Now, you can make a significant difference by providing financial support to World Vision Philippines, enabling us to continue our crucial work in supporting children and communities affected by disasters and climate change. For just P25 a day or P750 a month, your generosity can change lives and build better futures. No matter how small, your contributions can help provide critical aid and services. Every act of kindness saves lives.
