ecently several areas in the Philippines had been devastated due continuous typhoon hitting our land. Many of houses had been severely damage and thousands of people are suffering due to this phenomenon.
November 14, exactly end of my shift my best friend asked me if we are selling a dozens of underwear since we have a small online business. When I ask for the reason why she’s buying a lot, she open up that she would like to donate it to the victims of the typhoons and this where Project Undies PH started.
Why undergarments?
We noticed that most of the donation drive in our country focused on providing ready to eat foods and used clothes but we seldom see people including undergarments in their donations. We saw the need and importance of clean and new undergarments to people who lost most, if not all, of their personal belongings. We decided to focus on raising funds to provide and include them on donations we give out.
In just a day after we post the donation drive in social media we are able to accumulate P15,000.00 pesos and it is still counting and to secure this project I manage to ask help on my outside work organizations such as Rotaract Club of Holy Spirit sponsored by Rotary Club of Holy Spirit, we even partnered up with some established non-profit organization with same interest of ours.
We dubbed this program as ‘Project Undies PH’ a group of individuals that aims to provide clean undergarments to people in need, specially victims of calamities whose houses and belongings have been severely damaged or wiped out.
As the year ends we are able to share a total of 1000 pieces of undergarment to the community in Rodriguez, Rizal, Bankal, Marikina City and areas in Bicol Region. We had a relief operation to said areas where we also give some goods and clothes donated by our partner organizations.
This project is still on going as there’s a lot of typhoon victims need our help. Support us providing clean undergarment. You can reach us by visiting our facebook page: Project Undies PH
