In response to Typhoon Yagi, a devastating storm that struck southern China and Southeast Asia, and its aftermath, The Starbucks Foundation has partnered with nonprofit organizations Planet Water Foundation and CARE to provide clean water access and other emergency response and recovery support to impacted communities.
CARE is working to address the most urgent needs of families and individuals in impacted communities. CARE’s response is focused on rapid assessment and mobilization, emergency water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and social protection, including humanitarian cash transfers. CARE is also ensuring that the voices and needs of women and girls are taken to account, and is prepared to support medium and long-term recovery. The response also includes supporting locally affected communities to restore their shelters and livelihood activities.
