Child-focused humanitarian organization World Vision Development Foundation, Inc. recently honored Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asian and Taiwan, for its unwavering and generous support to World Vision’s various projects for vulnerable children and communities in the Philippines through the Project Salute.
“We thank Shopee for supporting the most vulnerable children. World Vision is truly humbled to be working alongside partners like them who are committed to improving the wellbeing not just of children, but also of their families and communities,” said World Vision executive director Rommel V. Fuerte.
Shopee’s continued commitment to provide an online venue to help fellow Filipino citizens during the pandemic by hosting donation and fund drives through the app earned for the platform the One for Children Plaque.
The partnership between World Vision and Shopee Philippines started in 2020 through Shopee Bayanihan, Shopee’s umbrella CSR program that seeks to contribute in the development of communities through collaboration with various stakeholders. Shopee provided a platform for users to send help to different sectors affected by the pandemic, and organizations to promote their causes to raise funds.
“We are honored and grateful to World Vision for this recognition and for the inspiring work they have done here in the Philippines. At Shopee, we want to be a force for good and with partners such as World Vision, we will continue to ensure that our platform and resources are able to help bring impactful changes in our communities,” said Shopee Philippines director Martin Yu.
