General Santos:Manila Help continues to pour in for victims of the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that shook Mindanao in June. Families affected by the disaster are working to regain a sense of normalcy and rebuild their communities.
According to Philippines News agency, Allianz PNB Life employees initiated a voluntary fundraising drive to assist affected families. Allianz matched the contributions made by its employees, resulting in a total donation of PHP350,000. The funds will be channeled through the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF) for its Child and Maternal Support Program, targeting communities in Sarangani province and General Santos City.
The program aims to provide emergency nutrition assistance, newborn care packages, and hygiene and sanitation kits. It focuses on children under five years of age, lactating mothers and their newborns, and other families still dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake.
