Haiyan 2121

Background

On November 8th 2013, the Philippines were struck by Typhoon Haiyan, killing 4,500 people, destroying one million houses, leaving 4.4 million people homeless and affecting 13 million in total. A beautiful place was turned into a ruin. To overcome this nightmare, the Belgian 12-12 Consortium launched Haiyan 21-21, a joint operation between five major charities.

Caritas, Unicef, Handicap International, Oxfam and Doctors of the World all needed help in reconstructing the disaster area.
