Bolstering its unwavering commitment to education and bayanihan (working together), Digido Finance Corp. (DFC), operator of award-winning consumer finance platform Digido and in-app and in-store installment solutions provider UnaCash, organized a dispatch of back-to-school essentials in support of the country’s annual Brigada Eskwela campaign.
Held last August 24, 2023, the initiative saw DFC management and employees provide school supplies, including notebooks, writing and coloring materials, a variety of other supplementary materials to two hundred and thirty students of Malanday Elementary School in Marikina City, which was affected by recent typhoons.
Company employees also demonstrated their premium on early education by contributing in-kind items.
The undertaking seamlessly aligns with two pivotal Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations: “Quality Education” and “Reduce Inequalities,” both of which encapsulate the essence of sustainable development through proactive measures.
The Department of Education (DepEd) kicked-off this year’s Brigada Eskwela earlier this month.
“One’s education is directly correlated to one’s degree of participation in the financial ecosystem. Through this initiative, we aim to make change by removing immediate barriers in the way of students’ focus on learning and upskilling,” Digido country manager Farit Shakirov said.
“Endeavors such as Brigada Eskwela are an opportunity to invest in the bedrock of enduring education, and by extension, holistic maturation. The organization is more than pleased to offer its assistance for such initiatives within the best of our abilities,” added Aleksei Kosenko, president of UnaCash.
Recognizing the potential for transformative impact, Digido and UnaCash are resolutely stepping forward to continuously establish positive change for community revitalization. Drawing upon the collaborative prowess of various teams across the company, the Brigada Eskwela program exemplifies the organization’s unity of purpose for societal welfare.
The convergence of volunteer efforts also underscores corporate entities’ ethical obligations to address pressing societal issues and generate positive impact. DFC is slated to roll out further initiatives as part of its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) plan.
