Meet a few Recipient Families
Four families in the town of Carcar show us their homes. Take a look and see why your help is so desperately needed in the poorest parts of the Philippines. Unlike their counterparts in other countries
who receive financial help from the government in the form of food
stamps, welfare checks and low income housing, these families have to
fend for themselves as they struggle to survive. There are no government subsidies. They can only rely on each other... and on the kindness and generosity of people like you.
