On June 8, 2026, the people of the Philippines were struck by several powerful earthquakes. The strongest of them measured 7.8 on the Richter scale. More than 40 people died and more than 600 were injured. The quakes destroyed many buildings in the southern part of the archipelago. Families lost their homes, and many people face an uncertain future.
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.
For just 12 euros, you can give a child a Resilience Kit: It includes items such as a flashlight, an emergency whistle, a water bottle, and first-aid supplies
