It’s been a week since Metro Manila has been placed under community quarantine in hopes of preventing the spread of COVID-19. While we sit at the comfort of our homes, there are numerous ways to helps out – ranging from in-kind donations to volunteer work. In fact, we’ve created a list of organizations that are continuously accepting donations to assist frontliners and our less fortunate kababayans. Included in our list is Caritas Manila, which can be assisted via Lazada. However, for those who are not yet familiar with the platform, here’s a step-by-step guide and an additional list of advocacy partners that are in need:

LazadaForGood’s Combat vs COVID-19

Lazada recently onboarded four new advocacy partners onto LazadaForGood, Lazada’s digital giving platform. Philippine Red Cross, Kaya Natin, Virlanie Foundation, Inc. and 2KK Tulong sa Kapwa Kapatid are joining the list of existing partners like Caritas Manila and UNICEF Philippines, bringing the total to 15.
