During a recent trip of WIN Corporate Treasurer, Peter Caludac, to Tacloban; one of WIN’s projects became a reality.
WIN awarded a fishing boat grant to four (4) fishermen who are survivors of typhoons Yolanda and Ruby. The grant beneficiaries were identified through WIN’s conduit organization – Couples for Christ of Dolores, Eastern Samar, .
The grant money of PhP 89,200 will fund the building of a motorized fishing boat & other incidental expenses. The boat will be used by the beneficiaries to fish for their own food and for their livelihood as fishermen.
The beneficiaries are Dexter Bertumin, Gerry Quiloña, Juriel Grafil and Mariel Batula (the only one who could make it to the grant turn-over).
We wish these fishermen the best of luck in rebuilding their lives. We trust that the assistance received from WIN will enable them to carry out this sustainable means of livelihood.
