Does helping communities in the wake of a typhoon end with distributing relief goods?
The Ayala Group, through #BrigadangAyala, believes in sustaining efforts that will assist communities on their way to recovery. This is why through Ayala Foundation and AC Energy, #BrigadangAyala is initiating a livelihood training program for two communities in Cagayan province, as a way to help families find new and sustained sources of income, especially when disaster strikes.
Powered by a partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Ayala Foundation and AC Energy are starting a disaster resiliency program through livelihood. The program will provide training for a total of 300 mothers or heads of families affected by Typhoon Ulysses (international name Vamco), which slammed Luzon in November last year.
