Child-focused humanitarian
organization World Vision recently honored Shopee, the leading e-commerce
platform in Southeast Asian and Taiwan, for its unwavering and generous support
to World Vision’s various projects for vulnerable children and communities in
the Philippines via Project Salute.
Project Salute is World
Vision’s initiative to honor its loyal and corporate partners by bestowing upon
them the One for Children Plaque.
Rommel V. Fuerte, Executive
Director, World Vision Development Foundation, Inc. says, “We thank Shopee for
supporting the most vulnerable children. World Vision is truly humbled to be
working alongside partners like them who are committed to improving the
wellbeing not just of children, but also of their families and communities.
Maraming salamat, Shopee!”
World Vision has been a
witness to Shopee’ continued commitment to provide an online platform to help
fellow Filipino citizens in need despite the economic challenges brought by the
community quarantines and health protocols.
“We are honored and grateful
to World Vision for this recognition and for the inspiring work they have done
here in the Philippines. At Shopee, we want to be a force for good and with
partners such as World Vision, we will continue to ensure that our platform and
resources are able to help bring impactful changes in our communities,” said
Martin Yu, Director of Shopee Philippines.
The partnership between World
Vision and Shopee Philippines started in 2020 via Shopee Bayanihan, Shopee’s
umbrella CSR program Shopee that seeks to contribute in the development of
communities in need through collaboration with various stakeholders. As the
Philippines faced the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Shopee provided a
platform for users to send help to different sectors affected by the pandemic,
and organizations to promote their causes to raise funds. Shopee Bayanihan also
enabled organizations to have a platform to reach out to concerned users who
want to donate and provide access to real and authentic organizations/charities.
In addition, World Vision also
utilized Shopee's platform for its other cause-oriented campaigns including
World Vision’s Noche Buena, Back-to-School, Childhood Rescue, and other
emergency response efforts. Together, World Vision and Shopee have raised
almost Php 800,000 — allowing more individuals to participate and make a
difference in the lives of many Filipino children and communities in need. The
partnership has been crucial in ensuring that the most vulnerable members of
society receive the support and assistance they need during times of crisis.
World Vision is grateful for
the continued support and commitment of Shopee Philippines in becoming One For
Children with World Vision. As the organizations work together to empower a
more inclusive society, they remain committed to their mission of transforming
the lives of Filipino children and communities for the better.
