OneChild mobilized quickly to provide emergency assistance through the Children’s Crisis Fund and rapidly funded rebuilding and rehabilitation efforts. And OneChild U.S. wasn’t the only place evacuees could look to for relief. When partners in other regions of the Philippines found out what was lost in the storm, they rallied to collect resources like clothing, hygiene supplies, and food. These Child Champions spent days gathering, repacking, and distributing goods, with some even giving money from their own pockets to help.
Perhaps the most impactful response came from the Bajau, a nomadic sea people who are known in the region as being among the neediest. Many Bajau children are part of the OneChild program in an area that was not affected by the typhoon, and when word of the storm’s destruction spread, their parents (particularly their mothers) hurried to pitch in and share all they had with the survivors. The amount they were able to collect was humble in terms of monetary value, but their sacrifice was priceless.
We praise God for the safety of our children and their families and for the giving hearts who have come to their aid. Please continue to pray for the people of the Philippines as they recover.
We are accountable to the children we serve AND to our donors.
Our accountability to our donors is one of our highest priorities. Our goal is to use the funds entrusted to us as wise stewards. To do this requires continued monitoring of our fund distribution. OneChild is also a member in good standing with the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA)
