AXA Philippines, one of the country’s leading insurance providers, continues its support to UNICEF by donating PhP 3.8 million for COVID-19 affected children. At AXA, we believe in protecting what matters and it’s important to ensure that these children don’t become the victims of the pandemic,” said AXA Philippines CEO and president Rahul Hora.
With the help of AXA, UNICEF and its partners delivered supplies such as water and hygiene kits, personal protective equipment, tents, and handwashing stations. UNICEF also provided training on infection prevention and control, social mobilization and community engagement, caring for children with disabilities, and psychological first aid.
Aside from the COVID-19 response, AXA has been supporting UNICEF to address the problem of overweight and obesity among Filipino children since 2019. UNICEF, which protects and promotes the rights of children worldwide, has made preventing overweight and obesity and promoting healthy food environments for children a centerpiece of its action plan since 2016 so that every child can grow to their full potential.
