It only costs P50 to help underprivileged schools in the Philippines affected by the pandemic.
Volunteer-powered nonprofit I am M.A.D. (Making A Difference) is calling on everyone to support its fundraising campaign Bigay-Ayuda para sa Eskwela or BIDA Eskwela Year 2.
The organization aims to raise at least P200,000 in 50 days from every donor’s P50 donation.
“During these pressing times, our communities need hope to cope with the challenges brought by the dragging effect of the pandemic,” says Sarah Butad, project lead of BIDA Eskwela Year 2.
Collections will be used to send supplemental aid to the 20 initial beneficiaries from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao that include schools in Pangasinan, La Union, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Bulacan, Romblon, Rizal, Metro Manila, Antique, Bukidnon, Agusan Del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Davao Oriental, Davao City, and Zamboanga City.
The digital-centric donation drive started on Aug. 5 and runs until Sept. 24, in time for the opening of School Year 2021-2022.
Interested individuals or entities are encouraged to donate as little as P50 through the following mobile wallet and bank savings accounts: GCash or PayMaya (Erwin Dela Cruz / 0908-817-6049), BDO (Mayo Ceazar Mendoza / 003010257672), Metrobank (Mark Conrad Ravanzo / 0663725653850), BPI (Ruth Butad / 0829342561), Landbank (Bigjay C.
