Where to Donate Protective Equipment and Other Aid for Frontline Health Workers

As the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise in the Philippines, the government has declared the country under the State of Public Health Emergency and put the entire island of Luzon in an enhanced community quarantine. These predicaments strongly urge everyone to stay at home in the meantime and practice social distancing.

However, not all have the choice to stay in and protect themselves from the virus. One of which is the hardworking members of the health sector who are now at the frontline of the pandemic at hand.

Aside from honoring these selfless heroes, you can also help them deal with the depleting supply of masks, personal protective equipment (PPEs) and other necessities in the hospitals by donating to the following organizations.
