When Typhoon Haiyan (aka Super Typhoon Yolanda) hit the Philippines in 2013, it affected more than 12 million people and at the same time, left 4 million homeless. So, the Miss Universe Organization have partnered with Dutch development agency, Cordaid to aid those who have been drastically affected by the calamity.

“The Philippines is home to our biggest and most passionate fan base, which is so meaningful to the Miss Universe family,” said Paula Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization. She added, “The country was hit by Yolanda the night before our 2013 Miss Universe telecast and together with Cordaid, we will raise awareness and funds for long term recovery aid to build, and rebuild, flourishing communities.”
