Caritas Manila, the social arm of the Archdiocese of Manila, through your generosity, has raised P1,147,954.25 in cash donations and P147,210 worth of in-kind donations for the recovery and rehabilitation of Marawi.
Caritas Manila’s Damay Kapanalig Marawi Telethon, in partnership with Radio Veritas 846, aimed to raise funds for the families affected by the recently concluded war in Marawi through its Caritas Damayan program.
I want to express my utmost appreciation to all the people who extended their love and attention to Marawi through our Damay Kapanalig Telethon. We are most grateful that we could help the war-stricken families and individuals to be happier and with hope. Let us keep pouring our support for Marawi to bring back the smiles on the faces of their children.
Caritas Damayan is one of the programs of Caritas Manila. Through its Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Program, Caritas Manila has put in place a disaster-management program that allows for quick-response relief operation and effective crisis intervention.
During the first three months of the conflict, relief assistance is being mobilized by all civil-society organizations, private sectors, non-governmental organizations, Church institutions and local government units in and outside the evacuation centers.
Currently, Caritas Manila, together with the Missionaries of Jesus, is mainstreaming psychosocial and relief support through its “Damay Marawi” program.
Damay Marawi aims to develop communities toward wellness and livelihood. This project provides psychosocial support through trainings and materials development for peace education, which will be integrated in the Catechetical Ministry for Iligan and in the school curriculum for the municipalities of Lanao del Sur.
The public can still help and donate for Marawi by calling 925-7931 to 39, 563-9311 or 562-0020 to 25.
