Amway donates cash, products, PPE in fight against Covid-19

Amway Philippines has pledged over P3 million in cash, products and personal protective equipment (PPE), including its marketing budget, to benefit various groups in the frontlines in the country’s the fight against Covid-19.

“Amway Philippines is taking collective steps in providing relief to those working bravely amid the pandemic. We believe that everyone can play an integral part in caring for our health workers and countrymen,” Amway Philippines Country Manager Leni Olmedo said.

The direct selling company partnered with the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) to provide over P2 million worth of its nutrition and personal care products and P400,000 in cash to aid the organization’s ongoing initiatives against the coronavirus disease. It will also provide PPE to San Lazaro Hospital in Manila, one of the government hospitals over-burdened by the pandemic.

Some of the company’s direct sellers called Amway Business Owners (ABOs) are also currently serving as frontliners in various medical facilities. Amway has reached out regionally through the ABOs with donations of eSpring Water Purifier units to health workers and hospitals in Cebu, Cagayan de Oro and Davao.

The direct selling company continues to operate through a strict work-from-home policy, while employees came together and pitched in with cash donations as assistance to some of the staff heavily affected by the lockdown.

“Amway Philippines will continue to embody our values of Freedom, Family, Hope and Reward: principles that have guided us and taught us the importance of family and solidarity in all that we do; of transforming our lives and others’ through giving,” Olmedo concluded.
