Now approaching its second anniversary, Bosch’s #CareForEducation initiative in partnership with Teach for the Philippines (TFP) has raised a total of 43,979 EUR (2,760,000 PHP) to date. This amount includes 28,044 EUR (1,760,000 PHP) from Bosch Mobility Aftermarket (MA) Philippines and Bosch Primavera, and 15,934 EUR (1,000,000 PHP) from Bosch Mobility Aftermarket distributor, Warren Automotive Company. Through this initiative, Bosch MA has supported TFP’s Student Programs for Literacy and Life Skills, benefiting over 1,500 students and 770 parents and guardians. The majority of participating students have demonstrated significant growth, with average endline scores of 70% in literacy and 87% in numeracy. Additionally, there have been notable improvements in socioemotional mindsets.
Building on years of successful collaboration, Bosch MA Philippines and Bosch Primavera will continue to support TFP with the launch of the Tara, Kaya! Program. This holistic program aims to not only improve student scores but also to enhance confidence, emotional resilience, and interpersonal connections. By 2025, the program seeks to expand its reach to even more students and their parents or guardians.
“The Care for Education initiative, now in its second year, has positively impacted many lives, and we are committed to continuing this impact in the years ahead,” said Paulo Duarte, Managing Director of Bosch Philippines. “Ensuring access to education for all will yield significant benefits for our growing population,” he added.
Mavie Almeda Ungco, Chief Executive Officer of Teach for the Philippines, shared, “We deeply appreciate how Bosch MA shares our vision of providing quality education to all Filipino children. Our ongoing partnership with education advocates like Bosch MA allows us to innovate and deliver the most relevant programs for our public school students.”
To kick off another year of partnership, Bosch Mobility Aftermarket (MA) Philippines organized a Brigada Eskwela activity on August 16, 2024, in support of the recently opened School Year 2024-2025. Bosch volunteers gathered at Bagong Silangan Elementary School in Quezon City to assist in repairing classroom furniture, refurbishing school facilities, and ensuring a conducive learning environment for public school students.
This #CareForEducation initiative is part of Bosch MA’s broader Care For Life campaign, which supports vulnerable children’s communities across ASEAN, with backing from Bosch Primavera, a charitable organization founded by Bosch employees. The Philippines marks the third country to join Bosch MA’s ASEAN-wide Care For Life campaign, which also extends to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam, focusing on initiatives related to happiness, road safety, clean air, eyesight, and children’s health.
