Habitat launches "The Plus Can Project" with ambassador Derek Ramsay

Tweet

Habitat for Humanity Philippines (Habitat) has launched its latest initiative: ‘The Plus Can Project’, alongside the organization’s celebrity Ambassador, Derek Ramsay, last August 3 at the Habitat national office.

Derek Ramsay

“The Plus Can means more homes for the homeless, more decent shelter for survivors of disaster, more permanent dwellings for the displaced and more productive communities for our nation. “It is also a reminder that we are all part of a larger family — the Filipino family.” - - - Derek Ramsay

Unlike an ordinary donation drive can, the Plus Can has a unique coin slot in the shape of a plus sign (+), illustrating that by getting involved everyone can be a ‘plus’ to humanity.

This latest fundraising project of Habitat aims to encourage more support towards the housing advocacy in improving the poverty housing situation of the country.

“There is a housing backlog of more than five million families in the Philippines, and in order for this to be addressed everyone needs to take action,” Charlie Ayco, Habitat’s Managing Director and CEO said.

 “The Plus Can is one way Habitat aims to reach individuals from all sectors to support our advocacy of building more healthy and sustainable homes for families in need.”

To show your support and for information on how to get a Habitat Plus Can of your own, please visit: www.pluscanproject.org.

Robinsons Supermarket, Unilever Philippines and World Vision united together and launched the “Bags of Hope” campaign – which aims to help World Vision Kids with their education and their future.

Packing hope in a bag is possible with the help of Unilever Philippines, Robinsons Supermarket and World Vision through Lady’s Choice’ Bags of Hope.

With what began as a child sponsorship endeavor in Malabon in 2007, blossomed into a relentless commitment for continued and growing support for children in more communities. It inspired the launch of “Lunch Box of Hope,” and eventually gave rise to the “Bags of Hope” we know today.

Lady’s Choice Bags of Hope is mounted each year together with Robinsons Supermarket to help in the education of World Vision kids. In the early days of the campaign, P5 is donated to World Vision for every Bags of Hope pack sold. Recognizing the growing needs of kids and the yearning to extend greater assistance for their studies, Unilever donates a set a school supplies for each Bags of Hope pack sold on top of the free school bag included in each pack.

On its 9th year, Bags of Hope ensured to help more kids in their education. Bags of Hope was able to donate Php 1.1 Million pesos worth of school supplies that benefited 15,000 students from World Vision-assisted communities. Through this support, beneficiaries are ensured they go to school equipped with what they need to learn.

Lady’s Choice not only makes delightful sandwiches and salads for the family, it is also packed with renewed hope towards a better, brighter future for children.

To help World Vision Kids with their education, Robinsons Supermarket, Unilever Philippines and World Vision unite together and launched the “Bags of Hope” campaign.

One may be a committed donor through buying the Bags of Hope pack. One can choose from purchasing 470ml Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise, Ham or Bacon spreads. Purchase will automatically entitle one to receive a “collectible school bag” which comes in four designs while concurrently giving out school supplies as donations for World Vision Kids to support their education.

Let us bring back the children to school and share the Bags of Hope to give a child a chance in life.
