We are an ARRP of Christian Aid UK (CA UK), covering the four geographically isolated and disadvantaged barangays of the Municipality of Carles - Asluman, Gabi, Granada and Lantangan - in the Gigantes Group of Islands. We partner with community based groups and schools in implementing coordinated rehabilitation programs that aim to achieve normalcy and enhance local capacities for disaster prepar
edness, prevention and mitigation. Beyond the four barangays, we also engage with other organizations (LGUs, regional government agencies, CSOs and the academe, among others) to actively support community-based efforts for rehabilitation through resource sharing and other relevant collaborative undertakings. We are at the forefront of efforts promoting people’s interest, highlighting local realities and contexts, and linking them with broader development issues and agendas. We capitalize on robust partnerships for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. And we utilize these as platforms for pursuing small island resilience grounded on the principles of participation, inclusivity, empowerment and sustainable development.
