Short Summary

  • I have been in the outdoors industry for many years, and through this I have developed a number of solid relationships with some of the best tent manufacturers in the world. I am keen to use these contacts in order to help people in the Philippines by providing excellent quality shelters that will withstand a heavy rainy season, and months of rebuilding.
  • I am using Indiegogo as a platform for donations and feel that by giving in this way, you can be sure that 100% of your money goes straight into providing the essential shelters that people so desperately need.

What We Need & What You Get

  • The target is set at $30,000 in order for us to provide the first shipment of already-made, 6 person tents, to the worst affected areas of Philippines. Of course we are hoping to raise 10x more than this so please do not stop once the target has been reached.
  • We want you all to know exactly where there money is going and we will be 100% transparent with the costs on our website www.tentaid.org We will also be providing incentives for you to give that little bit more so please please send whatever you can.
  • The whole project will be documented and you will be the first to know where your money is being spent, and most importantly, who is benefitting from your kindness.

The Impact

  • One of the main differences between our shelters and those provided by some of the larger aid organisations is that they are lightweight and moveable - so families can actually camp out on their own land while they rebuild. 
  • The value of this is hard to measure unless you have lost everything in a similar disaster. To give a family their own shelter that they can erect wherever they feel is best, is like giving them a lifeline - they will truly appreciate it.

Other Ways You Can Help

  • I really feel that small aid organisations can make a huge impact. We have no overheads and nobody is getting paid - therefore your donations go directly into the cause and is delivered straight to people in need. There is no better way to give.
  • Please remember to use the Indiegogo share tools and spread the word as much as you can. The key is to move as quickly as possible and with your help, we can make a real difference.
