ProgeCAD supports the Philippines

The ProgeCAD company could not hold itself aloof from the recent devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines early November 2013 and lent a helping hand to the Philippine population by making a donation to the Médecins Sans Frontièrs (MSF Doctors Without Borders) Organisation. Furthermore, ProgeCAD Philippines was on the ground in northern Cebu to hand out relief goods and together with the United Architects of the Philippines Organisation they were being actively involved in devising and constructing emergency shelters to make it possible their prompt deployment.

The ProgeCAD company considers it vitally important to make every possible contribution to support disaster relief and recovery efforts in the Philippines after the recent natural disaster, as it really can make a difference.

The scale of the calamity is enormous and affects especially the central area of the Philippines. The typhoon has caused millions of victims and devastating damages leaving hundreds of thousands of people without their homes. Just like many other Organisations worldwide ProgeCAD has mobilised the company resources to promptly assist the affected in the disaster area and made a charitable contribution to Médecins Sans Frontièrs (MSF Doctors Without Borders) to support the massive recovery efforts right after the natural disaster

Many Humanitarian Organisations are collecting medical and food supplies to help the affected by the calamity in the Philippines. People from numerous villages and towns have to rebuild their lives in the months ahead which means that everyone’s support counts and is highly anticipated

The company has always been particularly sensitive to social issues and over the years regularly offered its support for disaster recovery efforts in different corners of the world. As an example, in 2006, the company helped to raise funds for the victims of Tsunami in Asia, in 2009 for humanitarian relief operations in Darfur and, finally, in 2012 for the reconstruction of Haiti after the earthquake.

Damiano Croci, CEO at ProgeCAD, commented: “All ProgeCAD heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the affected by this horrible disaster in the Philippines. With so many people in need, we want to lend our support to those who have lost everything. We hope our donation will contribute to the common goal of helping people in the Philippines to rebuild their lives in the wake of this natural disaster”.

ProgeCAD is striving to raise awareness of the urgent support needed for the Philippine population and it encourages everybody to contribute to this cause. Please visit the www.msf.org website to learn more about their relief efforts.
