Following the successful launch of Bosch Automotive Aftermarket Philippines (Bosch AA) #CareForEducation campaign in collaboration with Teach for the Philippines (TFP) last December, the initiative has gained significant support from the local community to enable children in the Philippines to receive access to quality education and secure a better future for themselves. Among the tremendous support received from various organisations and individuals include a significant contribution of PHP500,000 from Warren Automotive Company, the reigning Dealer of the Year of Bosch AA.
“We are thrilled to receive this contribution from Warren Automotive Company, which will help increase our efforts to provide quality education to children in need and boost literacy rates, especially in rural areas. To date, we have successfully raised 45% of our target funding amount. With the continued support and contribution from others, we are confident that we can support more children and make a meaningful impact through education to secure both their future and our nation’s future,” said Paulo Duarte, Managing Director of Bosch Philippines.
“We wouldn’t be able to do our work without champions like Bosch AA. We are immensely grateful to them for connecting us with Warren Automotive Company, and enabling us to receive this generous donation from them.” Incoming TFP CEO, Mavie Almeda Ungco shares, “Their support will go a long way in ensuring that our public school students grow up with the foundational skills they need to shape bright futures for themselves, their families, and our country.”
The #CareForEducation campaign is a partnership between Bosch AA and Teach for the Philippines, and it comprises two programs – Functional Literacy Program (FLP) and the Batang Bayani Program (BBP). FLP provides early grade intervention for reading and math, while BBP encourages children to practice positive behaviour towards learning at home. The initiative is part of Bosch AA’s Care For Life campaign, which contributes to vulnerable children’s communities in ASEAN, supported by Bosch Primavera, a charitable organization founded by Bosch associates.
The launch of #CareForEducation in the Philippines marks the third country to activate Bosch AA’s ASEAN-wide Care For Life campaign. Plans are underway in Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand with initiatives focusing on road safety, children’s health, and clean air respectively.
