Aid for Manila’s garbage collectors
Donation protected
They are among the unsung heroes in the battle against COVID-9. They are not in the healthcare industry, but these people, along with many more, keep some of the basic services of a city or town running so everyone else can stay safe at home.
They may not be saving lives the way healthcare workers do, but their services are essential for people under community quarantine.
Their work puts these men and women, many of them breadwinners, at risk due to the community transmission of the novel coronavirus 2019.
The virus is out there and they can get infected. But they still work because they must provide for their families in the face of a health emergency.
They are frontliners too. This fund raising is specifically for garbage collectors and their families. This aims to provide them financial help and protective gears. The Philippines is currently battling three different enemies; COVID19, poverty, and corruption. The only way to protect the people is through a community effort like this.
