Oplan PANDAmayan is WWF-Philippines campaign to raise funds and provide immediate help and relief to survivors of natural disasters and calamities. The campaign prioritizes the most vulnerable sectors, including our country’s environmental frontliners - the fisherfolk, farmers, and farmworkers.

The worsening effects of the climate crisis are wreaking havoc on Filipinos’ daily lives, but the most vulnerable feel and experience it way worse. In a country like the Philippines - this has become an almost annual event.

This #climatecrisis has become our constant and repeated reality. Super Typhoon Odette which devastated the islands of Visayas and Mindanao last December 17 and 18 is no exception. Among those affected are our partner communities in Dinagat Islands, Siargao and Palawan and the municipalities of Araceli, Dumaran and Roxas in Palawan. Odette’s onslaught ravaged these areas whose people are only beginning to get back on their feet after being affected by closures due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The SMILE Project is working towards providing sustainable electrification to provide 24/7 sustainable energy in the communities, and developing the islands’ eco-tourism potentials.

We will also be providing relief assistance to communities in our project areas in the municipalities of Araceli, Dumaran and Roxas in Palawan.

Immediate needs that will be provided:

1. Potable water

2. Food

3. Shelter repair kits
