To orient its employees on the agency’s newly launched Kaagapay Donations Portal, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is set to hold an on-site donation drive at its Central Office in Batasan Hills, Quezon City on Thursday.
Social Welfare Assistant Secretary Ana Maria Paz Rafael of the DSWD’s Partnerships Building and Resource Mobilization (PBRM), the focal office for the agency’s donations portal, invited all officials and employees, regardless of employment status, to participate in the on-site donation drive.
“The PBRMO has collaborated with several Electronic Money Issuers (EMI) and logistics partners to offer a seamless donation experience directly to beneficiaries. Through these partnerships, everyone will have the opportunity to personally contribute to those in need, right at the DSWD Central Office,” Rafael said in a memorandum.
Among the partners that will be featured in the activity are GCash, PayMaya, FortunePay, J&T Express, Grab, and Lalamove.
“Participants will have the opportunity to engage with the EMIs and logistic partners, learn about their donation channels, and enjoy exciting prizes and tokens as a gesture of appreciation for their support,” Rafael said.
The Kaagapay Donations Portal is an online platform for donors to send their cash donations either to the DSWD for disaster relief operations and/or for in-kind and cash donations to DSWD centers and residential care facilities (CRCFs).
It also links donations to DSWD-registered and licensed social welfare and development agencies (SWDAs), as well as to local government units (LGUs) engaged in humanitarian response during times of disasters and emergencies.
