Bolstering its unwavering commitment to education and bayanihan (working together), Digido Finance Corp. or DFC, operator of award-winning consumer finance platform Digido and in-app and in-store installment solutions provider UnaCash, organized a dispatch of back-to-school essentials in support of the country's annual "Brigada Eskwela" campaign.

Held last 24 August 2023, the initiative saw DFC management and employees provide school supplies, including notebooks, writing and coloring materials, and a variety of other supplementary materials to 230 students of Malanday Elementary School in Marikina City, which was affected by recent typhoons.

Company employees also demonstrated their premium on early education by contributing in-kind items.

The undertaking seamlessly aligns with two pivotal Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations: "Quality Education" and "Reducing inequalities," which encapsulate the essence of sustainable development through proactive measures.

The Department of Education  kicked off this year's "Brigada Eskwela" earlier this month.

"One's education is directly correlated to one's degree of participation in the financial ecosystem. We aim to make change through this initiative by removing immediate barriers to students focus on learning and upskilling," Digido country manager Farit Shakirov said.

"Endeavors such as Brigada Eskwela are an opportunity to invest in the bedrock of enduring education and, by extension, holistic maturation. The organization is more than pleased to offer its assistance for such initiatives to the best of our abilities," added Aleksei Kosenko, president of UnaCash.
