After Typhoon Haiyan, ADRA provided boat repair materials to close to 600 fishermen so that they could get back to work and recover their livelihood.<\/p>\n
Danilo es un pescador de la isla filipina de Panay. Al crecer en la pobreza, no tuvo la oportunidad de recibir una educaci\u00f3n y empez\u00f3 a pescar para ganarse la vida a los 12 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
La pesca es el \u00fanico medio de vida que ha conocido, as\u00ed que qued\u00f3 desolado cuando el tif\u00f3n Haiyan destruy\u00f3 su barco mientras arrasaba Filipinas en 2013.<\/p>\n
Con sus antecedentes y sus limitados recursos, Danilo ha pasado por muchas dificultades, y no quiere que sus hijos compartan lo que \u00e9l pas\u00f3. Cree que quien no termina la escuela tiene que trabajar m\u00e1s para sacar adelante a su familia.<\/p>\n
\u201cCon 38 a\u00f1os en la industria pesquera, he podido enviar a mis cuatro hijos a la escuela\u201d, dice Danilo. \u201cDos de ellos ya han obtenido su t\u00edtulo universitario\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
Es esta determinaci\u00f3n la que no le permiti\u00f3 rendirse al ver su barco, toda su fuente de sustento para su familia, roto en pedazos. Era incre\u00edblemente dif\u00edcil pagar la educaci\u00f3n de sus hijos sin ingresos. Cientos de pescadores corrieron la misma suerte.<\/p>\n
ADRA introdujo un programa de subvenciones para la reparaci\u00f3n de embarcaciones (BRAG, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) para ayudar a Danilo y a otros 562 pescadores a reconstruir sus medios de subsistencia proporcion\u00e1ndoles materiales de reparaci\u00f3n para reconstruir sus embarcaciones de pesca da\u00f1adas, redes y otros equipos necesarios.<\/p>\n
\u201cADRA has empowered fishermen like me by bring\u00ading back our livelihoods so we can feed our families and send our children to school. I am very happy and excited that ADRA provided boat repair materials,\u201d said Danilo.<\/p>\n
Danilo is already using his repaired boat and now earns 450 pesos ($10) a day. This is close to his pre-typhoon daily earnings of 500 pesos ($11) and much more than the 200 pesos ($4.50) a day he struggled to sup\u00adport his family with in the three months following Haiyan.<\/p>\n\n\n
