DAVAO City — Local groups here have collaborated to raise funds and gather other forms of support for the victims of Marawi siege.
Junior Chamber International (JCI) Duwaling President Liezel Salera said along with the other organizations in Davao, they are set to organize various activities for their fundraising campaign for the internally-displaced families in Marawi City.
The number of affected civilians continue to increase as the clashes between military forces and the Maute Group go on in Marawi. Hence, food and other basic necessities have become a big problem for the residents in the area.
Salera told the media of the start of “Oplan Kaaga-pay,” a donation drive where people can donate in cash or in kind.
A crowdfunding page will also be set to reach communities outside Mindanao and outside the country for donations.
Their minimum target is P300,000 that is equivalent to 1,200 packs of either comfort packs, hygiene packs, packs for women or for babies.
Salera also said one of their biggest activities was the Concert for Marawi which was held on Independence Day at the Rizal Park, here. (davaotoday.com)
