PWRDF NEWS
The Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) is releasing an initial grant of $15,000 and is accepting donations to help tens of thousands of families who were affected by a devastating tropical storm that flooded 80 per cent of the Philippines' capital, Metro Manila, and its neighbouring areas.
More than 240 people have been reported killed and more than 450,000 driven from their homes after tropical storm Ketsana (locally known as "Ondoy") dumped a month's worth of rainfall in six hours on Sept. 26, said Action by Churches Together (ACT) International. ACT is a coalition of church-based groups that responds to natural disasters and humanitarian crises, of which PWRDF, the Anglican Church of Canada's relief and development arm, is a member.
There are fears that the number of victims will rise as a second tropical cyclone is forming that may affect the same areas that are still reeling from Ketsana.
