Naomi Socrates of LifeRADS shares how she stepped up to become a local leader in Palawan's humanitarian response in the wake of Typhoon Odette's destruction last year. A Single Drop for Safe Water Inc. and Roots of Health, as members of the Humanitarian Response Consortium, launched a large-scale response in Palawan on December 18, 2021. UN OCHA (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) provided an emergency cash grant to showcase the localization of humanitarian leadership which supported government agencies, local CSOs (civil society organizations), and vulnerable households.
