Shopee launched Shopee Bayanihan, an initiative focused on providing support for medical front liners and Filipinos in need.
In a true Bayanihan spirit, Shopee partners with various humanitarian organizations like Red Cross, Kaya Natin and World Vision to raise funds to support different communities most affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. Among those in need are hospitals faced with limited medical equipment and low-income households who face difficulties in securing daily necessities. Under Shopee Bayanihan, users can make a direct donation to these organizations via Shopee from 26 March onwards. Additionally, Shopee donates 2,800 KFN4 respiratory masks to support the health workers in the Philippine Lung Center in their combat against the virus.
Ruoshan Tao, Head of Marketing of Shopee Philippines, said, “In the spirit of Bayanihan, we need to come together and draw strength from one another as we tide through this COVID-19 outbreak as one community. We launched Shopee Bayanihan to provide Filipinos a platform to step forward and help those in need. The funds raised will channel much-needed resources to vulnerable individuals and families to help them cope with the situation. We urge everyone to stand together with us and help one another stay strong during this period.” All Filipinos can make a donation to their partner organizations of choice in amounts of P50, P100, P500, and P1,000 via Shopee Bayanihan. Here’s how:
Last March 31, users tuned in to Shopee Live and watched the special program on “Shopee Bayanihan Day”. During the program, popular local celebrities put up a special performance to help raise funds under Shopee Bayanihan. Users also found more information on what the partner organizations are doing to support the community.
All proceeds made through Shopee Bayanihan will go straight to their partner organizations. For more information, please visit https://shopee.ph/m/shopee-bayanihanDownload the Shopee app for free via the App Store or Google Play.
