As the Philippines reels from the aftermath of Typhoons Julian, Kristine, Leon, Marce, and Nica battering the country in rapid succession, Save The Children Philippines is ramping up efforts to protect children and communities through the launch of the #LahatDapatSafe campaign. These storms have left over 1 million children vulnerable to devastating impacts — displaced from their homes, separated from their schools, and exposed to the dangers of disease. “I am afraid to sleep because the wind is so strong. I worry about my family and I don’t know where we will go next. The rain reminds me of that terrible night when we lost everything,” said 12-year-old Mica, a child affected by Typhoon Julian.
Children like Mica, along with countless others, face compounded risks of hunger, trauma, and long-term developmental delays. The devastating impact of these typhoons requires immediate, coordinated action. In response, Save The Children has launched the #LahatDapatSafe campaign to ensure that children are not only kept safe but also given the resources they need to recover and rebuild their futures. The campaign aims to provide food, hygiene kits, educational materials, and emotional support to thousands of children and their families in affected regions such as Camarines Sur, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Rizal and Quezon. Through the #LahatDapatSafe campaign, Save the Children has already mobilized urgent relief efforts with the help of key partners and donors. These include Lifestrong Marketing Inc., FWD, and others who are helping to ensure a swift and effective response. On the ground, The Miss Philippines and Mister Pilipinas Worldwide have been actively involved by packing essential relief items such as hygiene kits and household supplies, which will be distributed to affected families in the hardest-hit areas.
“A child’s safety and well-being should never be at risk, especially during such a critical time. The #LahatDapatSafe campaign ensures that children who are affected by these disasters receive the immediate relief and long-term support they need to recover and thrive. Through the help of our partners, we are committed to supporting these families and helping them rebuild their lives,” said Save The Children Philippines CEO Atty. Alberto Muyot.
