Mercy In Action went into the disaster zone in the Philippines in November 2013 to provide emergency care to the pregnant women and infants who survived the typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda destruction and were left without any maternity services. Mercy In Action is now providing support to the local midwives to rebuild their own clinics and birthing centers. We rebuilt one birth center on Leyte island already, and funds are now going toward building materials for a second birth center on Samar island.
