PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS GET PREPAID HOME WIFI MODEMS

/ 1 April 2021

GLOBE At Home, with the help of Ayala Foundation, Inc., donated prepaid WiFi modems to beneficiaries nominated by the Department of Education to help address their education needs.

On top of this, Globe At Home said that every time a customer buys a GAH Prepaid WiFi modem from either the Globe Online Shop or its official stores in Lazada and Shopee, P100 will go to the fund used to purchase more prepaid WiFi modems for public school students.

Globe added that a P1 donation will be added to the fund for every HomeSURF and HomeWATCH promo availed by their consumers.

“Our mission is to help teachers and students thrive in this extraordinary time.  We are extremely grateful for the support that our customers have given and continue to give to successfully carry out this project,” Barbie Dapul, Globe vice president and GAH Marketing head, said.

Last year, GAH also donated 2,000 modems to select public school teachers who need strong internet connectivity for distance learning.

Globe said these efforts are in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No. 4 which calls for quality education and education for all.
