LAZADA AND UNICEF JOIN HANDS TO HELP CHILDREN THIS CHRISTMAS
A
few more days before the 11.11 Shopping Festival and we’re all getting excited
but did you know that as part of this one day festival, Lazada will launch a
first-of-its-kind partnership with UNICEF that allows online shoppers to support
the welfare of Filipino children. In time for Christmas, UNICEF will have an
online shop at Lazada from November 11 to December 31, 2018 where inspired gifts
such as backpacks, hygiene kits, and emergency supplies can be donated to
children all over the country. These are life-saving and life-changing items
which address real needs of children.
Southeast Asia’s biggest eCommerce platform Lazada
partners with UNICEF in hopes of making giving an integral part of the
Filipinos’ Christmas shopping experience.
“Lazada is honored to work with UNICEF in helping
the underprivileged children of the Philippines. e-Commerce has helped cater to
the needs of many underserved Filipinos and our UNICEF partnership allows us to
extend this help to those who need it the most. With kids, a little help goes a
long way because you're helping build the future, one child at a time. We
believe that the Filipino future is bright because of the kids we help today
through our platform”, said Ray Alimurung, Lazada Philippines CEO.
Children
in the Philippines face various deprivations such as undernutrition, lack of
access to education and poor access to WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene). These challenges are further exacerbated by
the natural and man-made disasters that frequent the country. With gifts
ranging from P199 to P999, anyone shopping at Lazada can now purchase gifts for
these children who need them most.
“Through
innovative partnerships like this, everyone is given the opportunity to improve
the lives of so many children. We appreciate this collaboration with Lazada,”
said Lotta Sylwander, UNICEF Philippines Country Representative.
