Taiwan Typhoon Aid: Support for Krathon & Kong-rey

With the support of our donors, The Mustard Seed Mission has made significant progress in post-disaster recovery efforts following the severe earthquake and subsequent typhoons that impacted eastern Taiwan in 2024.

Thanks to timely contributions, we were able to initiate immediate emergency response, delivering food, clean water, and essential supplies to over 1,500 individuals in remote and severely affected communities, including those in Hualien and Taitung. In cases where access routes were blocked, local youth formed coordinated motorcycle relay teams to ensure supplies reached isolated areas promptly.

In the recovery phase, we focused on rebuilding household stability. This included the distribution of home repair subsidies, temporary housing assistance, and the replacement of key household items such as beds, refrigerators, and water tanks. These interventions particularly supported vulnerable populations, such as elderly individuals and those with chronic illnesses, in regaining a sense of normalcy and security.

Furthermore, to enhance future resilience, we facilitated community-based disaster preparedness workshops. A total of 52 local residents participated in training sessions aimed at increasing knowledge and readiness for future emergencies, including landslides and earthquakes.

These outcomes were made possible through the collective efforts of local volunteers, partner organizations, and donor support. The impact of this project extended beyond material aid—it contributed to restoring social cohesion, promoting localized resilience, and reaffirming the importance of long-term preparedness strategies.

We are grateful for the trust placed in us and remain committed to strengthening our disaster response systems. Your contributions have enabled us not only to respond to immediate needs but also to invest in sustainable, community-driven recovery.
