Stand with the Philippines

Help us raise $100,000 to support earthquake recovery in the Philippines.

The Crisis

​A devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake has left thousands of families in southern Philippines facing unimaginable loss. Homes have been destroyed, communities displaced, and schools damaged - including our own Marist school, Notre Dame of Dadiangas University Elementary Department in General Santos City. ​

The Star of the Sea Province is aiming to raise $100,000 to support emergency relief and long-term recovery efforts. We are calling on the Marist family, our schools, communities and supporters to stand in solidarity with those affected.​

Your donation will provide urgent assistance and help rebuild homes, schools and communities as families begin the long journey towards recovery. ​

Donate today and help us reach our $100,000 goal and bring hope, safety and a future to communities affected by this disaster.

Our Response:
 

The earthquake has caused widespread destruction across General Santos City and the neighbouring municipalities of Malapatan and Glan in Sarangani Province. ​

Thousands of families have been forced from their homes, with many now living in evacuation centres, temporary shelters and makeshift structures. Children are sleeping under tarpaulins, while families struggle to access food, clean water, shelter and basic necessities.​

For many, the earthquake has taken away not only their homes but also their livelihoods and sense of security.​

In the true spirit of Marist fraternity and compassion, the Marist Brothers East Asia Province – Philippine Sector has launched Marist Help, a dedicated Earthquake Relief Operation Project.​

Through this appeal, the Star of the Sea Province hopes to raise $100,000 to help provide emergency relief, restore schools and support families as they rebuild their lives.

Raising $100,000 to Support Recovery

A Call to Marist Solidarity

Together, we can reach our $100,000 goal

The earthquake severely damaged Notre Dame of Dadiangas University Elementary Department, leaving classrooms and facilities unsafe for students and teachers. ​

Spaces that once welcomed children every day are now awaiting assessment, repair and rebuilding. Restoring these learning environments is vital so students can safely return to their education and continue to thrive.​ ​

Support Marist Help

Through this fundraising appeal, the Star of the Sea Province is supporting the Marist Brothers East Asia Province – Philippines Sector's Marist Help Earthquake Relief Operation with the goal of raising $100,000 for relief and recovery.

Your donations will assist with:

  • The rebuilding of damaged homes and community facilities

  • The restoration of Marist educational facilities affected by the earthquake

  • Support for displaced students and schools

  • Temporary shelter materials​

Every donation, large or small, will provide practical support and a message of hope to families who are facing one of the most difficult moments of their lives.
