“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” ― Mother Teresa

Hope for Ormoc City, through the donations of family, friends and kind souls all around the world, has adopted and fed  the following barangays: 

Barangay Nadongholan - 1,500 families
Barangay  Donghol - 600 families 
Barangay Mahayag - 160 families 
Barangay Cabulihan - 75 families


Each family has an average of 5 members and we are all making sure that each member has enough to survive. All the donations and relief goods are being sorted and repacked in Ormoc Villa Hotel. Afterwards, they are then distributed to the barangay captains who already have an efficient system of making sure each family has their share. 

Aside from basic needs, people want to rebuild their homes. Here, the strong and able go out during the day to build their houses and find more food. For those who do not have adequate shelter for the night, they sleep at the evacuation centers. 


In the native Filipino dialect, barangay is a term for village. Here in Ormoc City, we are more just a collection of barangays or villages. We are a community and in this community we help each other. Together, we can build tomorrow for Ormoc City. For now the future is not so bright but there is still hope.
