After the release of the 1st tranche of Household Livelihood Assistance (HLA) as part of the Typhoon Opong Recovery Project of the Philippine Red Cross under the support from International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and German Red Cross (GRC), we conducted a usage monitoring to ensure that the 429 beneficiaries have utilized the cash they have received for their intended Livelihood proposals.

The purpose of the usage monitoring is to ensure that they utilized the funds received, this is a precondition for the release of the final tranche of the HLA grant.

These Community Engagement and Accountability (CEA) measures fosters transparency and accountability for the support we received from our partners as well as to gain feedback from the community.

We would like to thank our hardworking Project Team as well as our volunteers and BaReCom.

As we observe Dengue Awareness Month, the Philippine Red Cross reminds everyone that preventing dengue starts in our homes and communities. A single mosquito bite can change a life, but by working together, we have the power to stop the spread. Let’s practice the B-E-A-T strategy today!

Through the power of our Volunteers, Logistics, and Information Technology, the Philippine Red Cross stands unified to ensure a safer, healthier Philippines. But we cannot do it alone—we need YOU.

Be proactive. Clean up, stay informed, and protect your loved ones.
