WOH HUP BUILDING HOMES MANILA 2012

November 7, 2012

This November, we’ve partnered with Woh Hup (Private) Limited and Gawad Kalinga to build homes for typhoon victims in the Philippines.

Over four weekends, staff will build housing for 10 families at the Dr. Jose Rizal Gawad Kalinga Village.

Under the unrelenting blaze of the Filipino sun, Woh Hup staff mixed, shovelled, paved, poured, hammered, and painted their way through the weekend.

Working with the beneficiaries of their hard work, staff laid the foundations of the houses only centimetres from the field of tents where those awaiting their houses have lived for over 2 years.

By the end of the month, the field will be 10 tents down and more families will have a safe place to begin a stable life.
