Charitable organizations are advocating for fundraising efforts through GBayanihan in response to the Philippines being struck by floods.
In the wake of the devastating storms and heavy monsoon rains that have affected more than 2.7 million people across 17 regions in the Philippines, GCash, the country's leading finance super app, is providing a simple and secure way for individuals to contribute to disaster relief efforts.
The GBayanihan platform, a digital community for quick and transparent disaster response, brings together donors and humanitarian organizations. By opening the GCash app and navigating to the "GBayanihan" feature, users can select their preferred credible NGO partner such as ABS-CBN Foundation, Ayala Foundation, UNICEF, or Save the Children to send their donation directly.
GCash assures donors that their contributions go directly to verified NGO partners and adheres to the highest standards of transparency. To ensure the safety of donations, users are cautioned to exercise vigilance and only donate through the GBayanihan feature within the GCash app or scan verified QR codes of partner NGOs. Sharing sensitive account information such as MPINs or one-time passwords (OTPs) should be avoided.
The GBayanihan platform is part of GCash's commitment to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those focused on safety & security, financial inclusion, diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as combating climate change and its impacts.
By choosing to donate via the GBayanihan platform, users are enabling organizations to respond quickly and efficiently in affected areas, providing much-needed aid during these challenging times.
