Out of the devastation of Typhoon Haiyan, Type of Wood Charities was created. In response to the Philippines devastation of Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest typhoon ever recorded, a small group of volunteers joined in the efforts to rebuild homes and help communities recover from the destruction/devastation.
After this life changing experience, Rob Sturgill knew more should be done to help others and created Type of Wood Charities. We have continued to return to the Philippines with groups of volunteers ready to share their time, talents, love and resources. Our efforts have expanded to Africa and Ukraine.
Since the development of Type of Wood Charities, we expanded our work into Africa in 2019. Then when the conflict began in Ukraine February, 2022 we began helping volunteers serve in Poland and Ukraine. We hope to continue growing our network into more countries in the future to serve more people worldwide.
