In line with the fight against COVID-19, Lazada onboards new advocacy partners onto its digital giving platform, LazadaForGood, to help those who are in the frontlines as well as those who are in need of aid.
- Philippine Red Cross
- Kaya Natin
- Virlanie Foundation, Inc.
- 2KK Tulong sa Kapwa Kapatid
They will be joining the list of existing partners which include Caritas Manila and UNICEF Philippines, bringing the total to 15.
Over the week, partner agencies were able to raise more than PhP2,000,000 through the digital giving platform to support front liners and provide relief to those affected by the virus.
Using the platform, consumers can support local communities and causes in need through direct donations where they are assured of secure online payments.
Proceeds from donations will help supply different form of support for these organizations. Philippine Red Cross and UNICEF donations are for medical staff supplies, while donations for Caritas Manila supplies safety kits to be distributed to families and communities in need.
Kaya Natin Movement supports food and personal care packages and personal protective equipment for medical front liners. Virlanie Foundation and 2KK Tulong sa Kapwa Kapatid are donating food and personal care packages for street children.
