RECOVERY Program: This is an on-going program intended to restore the lost business or enterprises of the affected clients/members to give them the opportunity again to have the income to support their family needs until they have fully recovered

Based from the reports gathered from the ASHI branches, there are 1234 members who are into farming in the affected areas of the typhoon of which 837 were affected or 68% affected. Most of these members are into rice farming, vegetable growing and animal raising. Based on the action plan of ASHI for recovery program, only suspension of payments and loans rescheduling have been achieved. The support from other partners was concentrated on the recovery of other enterprises such as fishing related and vending. The proposed farmer livelihood recovery program would help the affected families recover and earn income to support their family needs and other needs as well, as this would focus more on helping the farmer-members. Inspired by the concept of the Farmer Entrepreneurship Program, this would give hope to the farmers to recover from the effects of the disaster brought about by typhoon Yolanda.
