The Philippines – All Hands Volunteers (presently All Hands and Hearts – Smart Response), Volunteers for the Visayans

Support for the activities of organisations helping victims of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan)

COUNTRY / PROBLEM

The Philippines is an island country located in Southeast Asia, inhabited by over 100 million people.

Due to its location, the Philippines is often affected by natural disasters. In November 2013, one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorder – Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) – devastated parts of the country. The number of deaths exceeded six thousand people, and several thousand people were declared missing. In the aftermath of the typhoon, many Filipinos were left homeless, there was not enough drinking water and food, and the infrastructure was destroyed.

ORGANISATIONS

All Hands and Hearts – Smart Response (formerly All Hands Volunteers) efficiently and effectively addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters. The organization rebuilds safe, resilient schools, homes and other community infrastructure.

Volunteer for the Visayans organisation aims to reach out and improve the lives of communities and individuals in a manner that is responsible and sustainable.

Elsa Thomasma, who cooperated with Volunteer for the Visayans when approached by Kulczyk Foundation, was an American volunteer who raised funds for Cangumbang Community Center & Typhoon Shelter, where the local residents found shelter during Typhoon Yolanda. Every single member of that community survived.

PROJECTS

Kulczyk Foundation supported:

All Hands Volunteers (presently All Hands and Hearts – Smart Response), with funds allocated to the Leyte project (aimed at rebuilding homes);
Volunteer for the Visayans organisation, with funds allocated to renovating the Cangumbang Community Center.

There's no such situation in which there is no option to do something good. You always have to start with something.

Our aid projects help us understand the problems the modern world is facing. Our documentaires and educational programs drive change across societies .

Documentaries

Our documentaries shine a light on community problems in different parts of the world, and present organisations and local unsung heros who benefit from our support. In Poland, the Domino Effect TV series is created in cooperation with TVN - the largest private television in Poland. Through this work, we are able to reach those who might have never heard about a specific issue or the way in which they can help. This partnership results in a number of long form documentaries, which have been recognised at international film festivals. As part of our partnership with the CNN Freedom Project, we also produce a series of documentaries for English speaking audience. The series explores the issues of modern slavery and human trafficking, and is regularly broadcast on CNN International.

Educational programs

Since the beginning of its existence, the Kulczyk Foundation has been working to shape the socio-emotional competences of children and adolescents. We prepare unique lesson plans adapted to various stages of education. These focus on explainining the complex world of universal values and emotions, encourage reflection and the ability to draw conclusions. Ultimately help to build knowledge about ourselves and the world, and to shape attitudes towards the reality that surrounds us. As part of this commitement, we also provide workshops, conferences for teachers and faculty staff. We believe that wise education, implemented in a spirit of freedom and empathy, is a basic component of sustainable development for every human being, as well as a chance for a good start in adult life. No matter where they are from.
