Community leadership was involved from the beginning to decide what community projects would be most helpful

USE OF CASH-FOR-WORK INCOME “The CFW project not only had immediate
benefits, but it also restored and healed groups of friends, neighbors and families.
After the devastation caused by the typhoon, it was therapeutic for people to restore the village in which they lived and reclaim what was taken from them.
With their earnings, people bought nutritious foods for their families, purchased medicine, started small businesses, and purchased materials to rebuild damaged housing. ”
