GCash Supports Families of Fallen Heroes
GCash,
the Philippines’ #1 mobile wallet sealed its partnership with Hero Foundation
Inc. - a non-governmental organization (NGO) in the Philippines which main
advocacy is to help orphans of our fallen and incapacitated military men in the
line of duty.
This
partnership is an initiative driven by shared vision of GCash and Hero
Foundation that families depending on fallen brave men who faced tragic events
or at worst died serving the country are not left behind. It is a reality that
most of the dependents of our fallen military heroes suffer from hunger,
inability to sustain basic needs, lack of money to send the children to
school, unavailability of jobs for their
spouses, and other misfortunes brought by incapacity of the family’s
breadwinner.
Hero
Foundation as an institution has reached significant number of fallen military
heroes’ orphans by providing them opportunity to have the proper education.
Hero Foundation, sponsors scholarship grants to these orphans as a way of
giving back to the fallen heroes we have today.
Bearing
these realities in mind, GCash, has explored to open a partnership with Hero
Foundation. The country’s #1 mobile wallet has provided Hero Foundation and our
fellow countrymen who support the cause
a fast, secure, and convenient way of bringing something back to orphans
of military men who died in line of duty. Using the Quick Response (QR) Code
technology donations can now be made digitally. The donation boxes of HERO
Foundation are strategically located at
the major malls in Metro Manila and throughout the country and will also be
assigned their specific QR codes.
This partnership is part of GCash’s campaign to empower more NGOs,
Communities and Organizations in the country through #GCashForGood. This will
enable more individuals to conveniently support their chosen charities through
the use of the GCash App
“Since
HERO Foundation’s inception in 1988, it has been actively supporting the
families of our military personnel
killed or totally incapacitated in the line of duty. We only are able to
do this through the generosity and trust of individuals and corporations.
Through this partnership with GCash, being a HERO to our heroes' children
is made easier and more convenient. It also is a way to honor the
sacrifices of our military by ensuring the children they leave behind still
have a chance to a brighter future”,
said Hero Foundation Inc., Executive Director, MGen Victor V. Bayani (Ret).
"We
believe in what Hero Foundation is advocating for and we want to be part of
their journey of helping the families of our military heroes. GCash will enable
the foundation to accept donations via the QR technology and soon, through our
App via the online bills payment. We hope this will increase their reach and
help in their advocacy. This is very much aligned with our drive for financial
inclusion in the country and our campaign for #GCashForGood,” as shared by
Mynt’s CEO, Anthony Thomas. Mynt is the company that operates GCash.
