Education in the Philippines has become a privilege only for those who can afford it. In most cases, poverty is the major hindrance to receiving a full education.Through the years, government, due to limited resources, has called on the private sector to support its mission of providing basic services to those in need.A growing proof of this show of support for public welfare is the increasing number of firms, including American corporations, implementing programs to benefit the less-fortunate as part of their corporate social responsibility.
As the socio-civic arm of the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, the American Chamber Foundation Phils., Inc. (ACFPI), has been encouraging members of the Chamber to support the Foundation’s programs focused on youth development.It also continues to tap their corporate resources (cash contributions, in-kind donations, technical expertise, and employee volunteers) for use in its various programs.
S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc. is a corporate partner of the AmCham Foundation in its Educational Assistance Program for poor but deserving Filipino youth.It has sent 50 youth for a vocational course at Don Bosco Technical Institute (DBTI) for about 10 years already.
On August 19, 2009 the Foundation presented the School Year 2009/2010 scholars to S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.Once more on its 10th year of partnership with AmCham Foundation, S.C. Johnson & Inc. continues to live its principle – “The goodwill of the people is the only enduring thing in any business.It is the sole substance…the rest is shadow!”
