The Philippines - Bantayan Island - Repairing fishing nets in Tamiao

Gloria Mandawe (56) repairs her husband’s fishing nets, Tamiao, Bantayan Island, The Philippines. On November 6 2013 Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines and was one of the most powerful storms to ever make landfall. Fishing families who lived in the path of the typhoon lost boats, nets and tools, the essentials they need to produce food and earn a living. Oxfam is working with fishing communities to rebuild boats and repair nets.
