Location: Philippines

At Project SMILE, we have an initiative called #OperationBayanihan to help those in most need during the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, we have helped more than 3,000 individuals across the Philippines and have distributed 3,100 non-medical face masks, 1,000 surgical gloves, 300 meals, 200 face shields, and 2 aerosol boxes for our frontliners. But given that there are millions of Filipinos terribly affected by this crisis, there is definitely a lot of work that needs to be done.

Support Needed

Funds needed: There are lots of individuals and groups currently messaging our group to ask for financial support. As much as we'd like to cater to everyone, we are also constrained by our own resources. Ideally, we'd like to fundraise at least ₱500k (roughly $10,000 USD) before the end of ECQ (enhanced community quarantine) here in the Philippines so we can exponentially improve our impact in vulnerable communities.

Other support: Volunteers
