ShelterBox Canada is appealing for donations to support the Typhoon Haiyan relief effort.

Hundreds of thousands of men, women, boys and girls in the philippines are now homeless and without clean water or food in the wake of super Typhoon Haiyan. Their situation is desperate. 

CANADIANS CAN DOUBLE THE IMPACT OF THEIR DONATION THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT'S TYPHOON HAIYAN RELIEF FUND.

With winds of 195mph, the typhoon is the largest storm ever recorded to make landfall and current reports indicate that upwards of 10, 000 people may have lost their lives. 

Further reports are filtering through of 'utter devastation' across the main city of Tacloban and the islands of Samar and Leyte. The need to get shelter and essential aid to those affected is immense. 

ShelterBox has teams in the Philippines responding to the disaster and we are moving emergency shelter and other vital aid already located in the Philippines and neighbouring countries to the worst affected areas.

DONATIONS MUST BE MADE BY DECEMBER 8TH 2013 IN ORDER TO BE MATCHED.

The Government of Canada will match donations made to registered charities for Typhoon Haiyan relief efforts. For each dollar donated by individual Canadians to registered Canadian charities, one dollar will be set aside for the Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund.  This is a unique opportunity to double the impact of your donation. 

Donations to this appeal will be used to fund our response to Typhoon Haiyan. Feedback from ShelterBox Response teams already in the Phiippines confirms that the typhoon has caused utter devastation with hundreds of thousands of people made homeless with no access to clean water, electricity or food.
