The hygiene kits being distributed by Oxfam include a sleeping mat and jerry cans
Oxfam has been distributing hygiene kits and cash grants to vulnerable families sheltering in evacuation centres in Angono. The kits include items such as sleeping mats, soap, underwear and sanitary towels, as well as jerry cans to collect and store water in. These are also accompanied by small cash grants of 1,000 pesos (US$20) to help families purchase supplies and replace the items they lost in the floods.
At the distribution I visit on 21 October, Oxfam is providing support to around 450 households, or approximately 2,250 people. The distribution is carried out with our local partner Sikhay who visited the site the day before to distribute special coupons to those previously identified with the help of community leaders as being most in need of support.
Recipients line up in groups to hand in their coupons and sign for the goods before collecting their hygiene kits and then moving on to collect the cash grants after a second verification check. Pregnant and elderly women are given priority and selected to go first.
