Help a Child Feel Safe Again and Get Back to Learning

From Ruins to Resllience: Urgent Appeal for the Earthquake Survivors in Southern Mindanao

AT A GLANCE

Earthquake Impact in Southern Mindanao

In June 8, 2026, a magnitude 7.8 tectonic earthquake struck offshore Maasim, Sarangani, devastating regions across Southern Mindanao. As of June 12, the impact is severe.

Persons Displaced

Houses Damaged

Deaths

Because the disaster coincided with the opening of classes, children have had their sense of safety and routine shattered. Displaced families currently face limited privacy, inadequate toilet facilities, and dwindling food and water supplies, which significantly increases protection risks for children and vulnerable groups.

It’s the first time I have experienced an earthquake. I didn’t know what to do. I just sat so I wouldnt fall off… and cried. I felt like I would faint.
