One Boat Afloat
It was said before that when you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. But if you teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.
And that is exactly why One Boat Afloat aspires to equip fishermen of Tolosa with new fishing boats after losing their livelihood from Yolanda.
Construct One House
Four million people were displaced by Yolanda, hundreds of them still live in overcrowded evacuation areas inside tents, sharing not only food, but unfortunately ...
Voluntourism
Students and young professionals from Manila and Cebu, and from other countries spend a few days to a few weeks to do community development, that includes doing physical labor to construct houses or repair schoolhouses and do outreach to the students.
Cooperative
Tindog Tolosa Consumers Cooperative (TTCC) brings the people of Tolosa together to help improve their lives. It does this in two ways: a savings association and a community store.
The savings association encourages people to save by providing a savings facility in an area where there are no banks. It is also a means for mutual help, letting people automatically pool contributions to aid families in case of deaths and emergencies.
On the other hand, the community store provides wholesale buying so that members can get basic goods at cheaper prices. The tax-exempt privilege of the cooperative further brings the price down.
About Us
Tindog Tolosa was formed in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan (local name Yolanda) in November 2015. Tolosa is a coastal town in the eastern part of Leyte island, where the typhoon made its landfall.
It devastated the whole town, and destroyed all houses, not to mention the sources of livelihood of the local people - fishing and coconut farming.
With the help of generous people all over the world, Tindog Tolosa helped in efforts to rebuild the town. If you would like to help or donate, please send an email to info@tindogtolosa.org.
