Habitat for Humanity T&T has announced an extension of Digicel Trinidad Ltd UWI-SPEC text-to-donate programme to send humanitarian assistance to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Subscribers to the Digicel network can continue to send texts to 11910, to deduct $10 from their accounts in favour of Habitat’s sister organisation in the Philippines. HFH Philippines is leading Habitat for Humanity’s international response.
A major fund-raising campaign has been launched on the Web site: www.habitat.org. Habitat Philippines plans to distribute 50,000 home-cleaning kits and 30,000 home-repair kits in the first stage of the emergency. The organisation will also build 10,000 homes as part of its response plan.
