In an upland village in Tanay, Rizal, children would trek for up to one hour before sunrise just to make it to class. Many from poor and indigenous families, these students have no choice but to walk just to get an education.
To help make their daily trek safer and their school days brighter, leading supermarket chain Puregold Price Club, Inc. recently brought a comprehensive support package for Alas-Asin Elementary school.
The company’s support includes a reliable power source through solar panels, health and dental checkups, and essential goods, including school supplies for students and grocery packs for families. It also built a new playground, giving the community’s children a well-equipped space for play.
To support teachers and learners’ families, Puregold also delivered livelihood packages to provide them with new means to earn a living.
