Typhoon Ering, the second deadly typhoon to hit the Philippines in weeks, has devastated communities already struggling to recover from previous disasters. Millions of children have been left without access to education, clean water, and basic services.

Children Pay the Highest Price

Children are always the most vulnerable in disasters, and this typhoon is no exception. Schools have been destroyed, families have been displaced, and the psychological toll on young minds is immeasurable. For many children, this is the second or even third time they have experienced a major disaster in recent months.

A History of Resilience
