Davao Bloggers Society: Project Hygiene Kit for Yolanda Survivors

The devastation caused by the typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) has affected not only a few cities and houses in the Philippines but the majority of the Visayas region where the death counts has now reached thousands and number of families affected now millions.

A conscious effort is now being undertaken by the Davao Bloggers Society to join the relief operations by raising a total of P100,000.00 to finance and produce 1,000 hygiene packs for the victims. Each kit costing to PHP100 or USD2.50 will contain toiletries and other essentials good for one week’s use by one person. Hygiene kits were chosen to be donated as this is something that is not yet prioritized by many donors.

Each kit will contain the following:

For MALES – Total Cost: PhP95.60

* 60g Soap

* Weekly pack Shampoo – 8 sachets x 4 mL each

* 3 packs of 30 g Toothpaste

* Toothbrush

* 40 Pulls Pop Up Tissue

* 10 g Cotton

* 75 mL Alcohol

* 2 x 3 mL Deolotion

* 12 mL Insect repellant
