Another aid agency, Oxfam, is very good on establishing or restoring water 
supplies, which they make a priority. Once again, water was an urgent need. 
All three agencies mentioned have a good track record.

I believe that Mercy Corps would also be appropriate. They train local women 
to promote breastfeeding, and they are also helping out in the Philippines.

A few people have asked me who is supporting mothers and babies in the 
Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. I've just had confirmation that 
Save the Children is doing an infant and young child feeding in emergencies 
program in the Philippines. If you want to help babies sending them $$ (and 
requesting that it go to their infant feeding program when you do so) will 
help them to do this. Please share and if you know of other orgs doing 
infant feeding work there please let me know.
