Rebuilding Lives After Yolanda sums up the common thread running through all the child protection initiatives carried out by Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH NL) under the Yolanda Emergency Response Project focusing on the devastated Western Samar towns of Marabut and Basey from mid Nov. 2013 until March 31, 2013. Children remain the most vulnerable sector in times of disasters and emergencies, especially in the case of Super Typhoon Yolanda (international: name Haiyan). Globally, 4 out of 10 disaster victims are children. The plight of Yolanda’s Children is no exception and calls for immediate action from government, aid agencies, local and international NGOs. Every child has the right to study and learn inside a safe classroom and school - even in times of disasters. Thus, Tdh NL rolled out its Education in Emergencies or School Recovery Program by cleaning and clearing huge pile of debris inside school campuses; setting up 32 school tents to serve as temporary classrooms for school children and teachers in 17 public elementary and high school located in Marabut and Basey; distributing learners, teachers and school kits; holding stress debriefing sessions for teachers and students; and repairing damaged roofs of 23 classrooms in 3 public high schools in Marabut and Basey. Every child deserves to live in a safe house – more so after a powerful storm surge completely washed away and destroyed thousands of houses in Marabut and Basey, creating a mass of homeless families. Thus, Tdh NL carried out its Temporary Shelter Program, building and repairing more than 500 houses in 7 barangays at Marabut, particularly for households with more children dependents. This presentation is the story of how Tdh NL helped devastated schools and communities to help themselves rise from the ruins of Yolanda.

4. Remember the numbers in Marabut
3,789 houses are totally
damaged and impossible to be
occupied
Only 596 houses or 13.6%
of the 4,385 houses actually
counted after Yolanda are
considered as partially
damaged or habitable.

11. • To fast track the resumption of classes in target Yolanda-affected public schools if
only to ensure that the children will have a sense of normalcy in their lives and be safe
inside classrooms away from hazards, the dangers of child exploitation and
trafficking;
• To clear and clean huge pile of debris inside school campuses;
• To provide temporary learning spaces or tent schools where teachers and school
children can hold their classes at a time when most of the classrooms have been
partially and totally damaged by the super typhoon;
• To distribute learner kits, teachers instructional materials and schools kits as a
substitute to destroyed school supplies and other instructional materials;
• To rollout stress debriefing training for teachers who will cascade these sessions
to school children;
• Repair of damaged roofs of selected classrooms at two Marabut High Schools and
Simeon Ocdol National High School, Brgy. San Antonio, Basey.
