MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Personal hygiene pioneer Kimberly-Clark Philippines, Inc. (KCPI) donated over PHP 3.2 million pesos worth of its products across non-profit organizations and hospitals or treatment centers across the country since the initial outbreak of the virus.
In total, the company donated 200,000 Huggies diapers, 200,000 Kotex feminine pads, and 20,000 Joy Bathroom tissue rolls.
KCPI identified key stakeholders-in-need who have had little-to-no access to these due to the limitations in mobility and resources brought about by the quarantine.
“The current health crisis has undoubtedly affected multiple sectors’ ability to efficiently access personal care necessities. Respecting and caring for the communities where we live and work is enveloped in our DNA and we’ve committed ourselves to help them navigate through this situation,” said General Manager Michael Vainio.
“We’re hopeful that our donation will help inject a sense of dignity and normalcy to the current lives of our beneficiaries as they manage their day-to-day personal care needs.”
The company also donated to Frontline Feeders PH, a group providing for the needs of frontline healthcare workers in public hospitals.
KCPI also extended its donation drive to non-profit organizations catering to different communities afflicted by the pandemic. Most notably, it recently donated products to the We Heal as One Center, a joint project of Ayala Foundation and ICCP Group Foundation Inc that converted the World Trade Center into a 500-bed COVID-19 quarantine facility.
It also donated to the following groups: Power in Her Story, I Support the Girls, and Project SMILE. It also donated personal hygiene essentials to foundations such as the ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation and GMA Kapuso Foundation.
“At the core of our purpose is genuine care and compassion for the well-being of our community. In these times of uncertainty, providing personal care and the feeling of comfort that comes with it goes a long way,” said Vainio.
