A raffle for a cause.. One week ago, several parts of the Philippines were badly hit by a typhoon. These were mostly in the Southern region of the country. For almost a week now, several parts had no access to water, electricity and even food.. As a helping hand to the community, Manila-based lifestyle store, Commonwealth Philippines, will be holding off a raffle donation to raise funds for families left vulnerable by Typhoon Goni through Waves For Water Philippines.

All donations will be given directly to Waves For Water (W4W) Philippines to support its ongoing work with families affected by Typhoon Goni. Waves For Water is a global humanitarian aid organization that implements clean water solutions with remote communities through filtration systems and rainwater harvesting. Working with local networks, W4W Philippines’ response efforts to provide clean water access to hard-hit communities affected by the subsequent typhoons Quinta (Molave) and Rolly (Goni) are now ongoing in the provinces of Batangas, Albay and Catanduanes
