How does humedica help in the Philippines?

As a first step, Humedica is helping children in the local community: Many of them were already traumatized by an earthquake that struck at the start of the school year in the fall of 2025. They receive items such as backpacks, emergency whistles, small flashlights, emergency information cards, or a small comfort item like a toy. This gives them something to hold on to, something that can help them in the event of further disasters and provide them with comfort.
