The World Council of Credit Unions has stepped forward to provide disaster relief for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, considered one of the strongest storms in recorded history.

The tropical storm, which struck the Philippines Nov. 8, has left as many as 10,000 dead and millions homeless. WOCCU is raising funds through the Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions to provide relief for survivors and help the country's 1,320 credit unions serve members in need.
