On November 8, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan (known locally as Typhoon Yolanda) struck the Philippines, killing more than 6,000 people. Six months later residents of one of the worst-hit areas—Tacloban on the island of Leyte—were still recovering from the widespread destruction of their homes and livelihoods. Baptist Global Response, a Southern Baptist relief and community development organization, worked alongside local IMB personnel and national partners to provide long-term healing among these communities with projects to rebuild homes, restore clean water supplies, and restore livelihoods.
