A Model for Resilience and Sustainability Supporting Over 600 Typhoon Haiyan Survivors

The Greg Secker Foundation proudly marks the sixth anniversary of the Greg Secker Foundation Village, a groundbreaking community in Lemery, Iloilo, Philippines, created to rebuild lives after the devastation of Typhoon Haiyan. Since its inception, the village has transformed the lives of over 600 individuals by providing not just housing, but also education, sustainable livelihoods, and a renewed sense of hope.

Building a Vision of Hope and Resilience

Inaugurated in 2018, the Greg Secker Foundation Village was born out of a mission to offer a brighter future to families who lost everything in one of the most destructive typhoons in history. Six years later, the village stands as a testament to resilience, growth, and community empowerment.

Driving Sustainability and Empowerment

At the heart of the Foundation’s mission is the creation of a self-sustaining community. Key initiatives have been developed to ensure long-term economic and social stability, including:

• Indoor Market: A vibrant marketplace where residents trade goods and services, fostering economic activity.
• Bakery: A local enterprise that provides fresh goods while creating employment opportunities for residents.
• Moringa Farm: A farm dedicated to cultivating the highly nutritious moringa plant, benefiting both local health and income through external sales.
• School for Over 300 Children: Adjacent to the village, the school provides quality education and has recently received additional funding for expanded facilities, ensuring continued support for future generations.

A Lasting Impact

Today, the Greg Secker Foundation Village is home to over 600 individuals who have rebuilt their lives in a supportive, thriving community. The sustainability projects have created a ripple effect, improving livelihoods, access to education, and fostering a strong sense of unity and collaboration.
